4670k overclocking

Say i pass more stable testing at this setting, how important is raising the Cache Ratio to be higher? I know the optimal setting is 1:1. Is there alot of performance hit with cache ratio as low as 38?

R9 290 vs GTX 770

can i set the max fan speed to be lower than default? thus making this thing quieter at the cost of performance (i guess it will hit the thermal threshold sooner and thus sacrificing performance)
