Greetings everyone,
I'm new to overclocking, and I'm seeking a little feedback from the community. I managed to reach 4.5Ghz without adjusting any voltages. My temps are what concern me. According to CoreTemp, one of my cores reached 78c during an IBT on stress level: very high. Everything appears to be stable. Should I be concerned?

Cooling Solution: CM Hyper 212+ in a push/pull setup with Arctic Silver 5 TP

Also, speed step/turbo mode is still enable along with all of the nifty power saving features.

Thank you for your time.
V/R,
Daniel
