Hi,

I want to OC my CPU. got the MSI G45 motherboard with a Cooler Master Hyper TX3 EVO Cooler.
Idle is my tempature aroun 48 degrees. pretty high I think?

I want to know how and if its possible to OC my i5 safely to 4GHZ.

Thanks!

Yes, 34* - 35*C. is perfectly normal.

I also have an MSI MB and I have found the MSI - Intel Extreme Tuning Utility to be very helpful in OC'ing. It should have come on the utilities and drivers CD with the MB, or you can just D/L from MSI's website. The IXTU will not do automatic OC, like "OC Genie" (not recommended, BTW) but rather allows you to manually change relevant settings, just like in the BIOS, without rebooting. Highly recommended!

I found Intel God's thread on OC'ing Haswell to be very helpful: http://www.tomshardware.com/forum/id-1722630/intel-god-quick-dirty-guide-4ghz-haswell.html
Using the info in that thread, and a little experimenting, I now operate at a very stable 4.6 GHz.

Read through that thread and see how...

That sounds Very high at idle. My 4670k is OCd to 4.6Ghz and idles around 30c. Granted I have liquid cooling, but only a low spec model cooler.

I would recommend refitting CPU cooler and check temps again before overclocking.
