is 8% overclock using ntune good number?

[jweller13]

Upon running nTune on my new rig ntune shows an 8% speed increase. Is that good?

I'm a first time builder and don't have a feel for what to expect from nTune. I'm not sure enough of myself, yet, to try manually overclocking.

Hehe. 8's ok.

With a good HSF that number can easily reach 30.

On water, you might hit 40-50.

I'm getting an 88% OC with my E6300 in sig.

That setup was MADE to OC to 3.4ghz easy, I suggest you read up on it and go for it.
