i currently have my cpu oc to 4.2 @1.25v and the ram set to 3200mhz cl16

my temps are in check about 62c and according to hwinfo64 under full load for 20+ minutes on several benchmarks and games my vrm gets to 55c and im not getting any cashes or strange system activity

now my question is
1. is it ok to be running 3000mhz ram higher then its rated.
2. if my cpu is stable with auto llc but im seeing a small bit of vdrop when starting a benchmark run. should i be worried about it. according to cpu-z my core voltage is 1.256v and when i start a benchmark run it will dip to 1.248v for half a second then back to a solid 1.256v
3. if i update windows does that affect my benchmark scores . like if i did a run a month a go but have updated since and now my score is less. is that because of an update or degradation

i have been running a 4.2 oc and ram oc for about a month but i wouldnt imagine id see degradation in that small amount of time but im new to pushing hardware past its rated point

if anyone feels like answering thanks in advance
 
1\ yes ok
2\ yes ok
3\ could happen with windows updates but could give ya higher score also and you want to trade security for benchmarks? your choice
