Well, just wondering why everyone is complaining about the piledriver hot with the stock Heat sink. This is my first ever DIY build, so i would think that overclocking this core would bring much heat, but i got the contrary. Im running the amd overdrive without turbocore at 4.5gHz (remember, brand new to this stuff) and 1.3 as my cpu voltage. Should I go any farther?
Under 100% load for 1 hour: 54.6C-56.9C

CASE: Some old Atx Midsize case with crappy airflow
