Hello, recently, I overclocked my AMD 8120 to 4.5GHZ running at 1.4v. After overclocking, my cpu temp is idling at 50-54 degree C. Before I overclocked it to 4.5, I had it at 4.0 ghz and I was still idling pretty hot (~40-45 degrees C). Currently, I am using a thermaltake water 2.0 performer as my liquid cpu cooler. I have already tried replacing the thermal paste with Antec's nano diamond formula 7 paste. I have a push/pull setup with 2 SP120 fans on my radiator. My case is pretty open; it has one side of the case open with multiple fans. I am not sure what is wrong :/
