Hi,

When overclocking my CPU, should i be looking at temp 1 or temp 2 on the picture below?

I got the noctua NH-D14 and good case ventilation, my idle temp is in the lower 30`s, but as soon as i start prime 95, it jumps straight up to 70c +.
I know the max temp is 62c, but i dont know which temps to look at :/

Thanks

Temperature 1 (top) is a reading from the sensors connected to your motherboard or the socket. Temp 2 (bottom) is a reading from the cpu die itself. Both temps are important. Thus, you should pay attention to both.
AMD does not give readings from individual cores like intel, thus before overclocking it is really important to apply your thermal paste evenly. I also have an 8350 @ 4.6 ghz. Our temps are about the same.

You're CPU has 8 cores, the temp 1 and 2 looks equal
