So I just put my system on optimal mode. I'm not using a stock cooler for my CPU but im not using like an amazing cooler.

Here is my system spec
i7 2600k
700w PSU corsair gaming series
collermaster hyper 212+ cpu cooler
gtx 560ti
8 gb crucial ram


Is this safe to run in optimal mode. I really dont want my brand new pc getting fucked up.... What exactly does optimal mode entail? How fast am i Ocing my processor?

I guess Asus optimal mode is a auto overclock mode .. it can be dangerous for your system, for better use UEFI bios .. in overclock need many tweak than auto
