Hi all,

I overclocked my amd a8-5600k (only set multiplier higher) from 3,6 ghz to 4,5 ghz.
I ran Prime95 for 5 minutes and the top temperature was 66 degrees Celsius.
Is this good?

Thanks
 
Solution
Yes, that temperature is fine. However, you need to run stress tests (Prime95, AIDA64 etc) for hours to judge stability and temperatures.

I just ran prime95 with my case open (my fan for the front comes in tomorrow and I wanted to be sure it didn't overheat) for 2 hours with 0 errors and warnings and the temperature didn't go higher than 63 degrees celsius
