and here comes the offense. :)
As somebody said here before OC is just for fun/hobby. But It s really worth for 3 fps as much?

Worth giving a shot, perhaps from there you can even attempt to get higher clocks as well. These settings are a good middle ground starting point anyway.
Yeah I will this weekend

And yeah Kraken is expensive, and unnecessary, but I earn all my money through my computer so, why not?

From a perf/dollar perspective overclocking has not been worth it for the last decade or so :) But the top end of performance is always more expensive anyway. What puzzles me is paying top end performance prices and not getting that performance out of your chip :)
