Hey guys, I recently overclocked my CPU to 4.6GHz, but my socket temp get to 78 degrees max on Prime95. I am concerned because this is over 70 degrees. I also cannot go above stock voltages (1.375) otherwise the socket temps go over 80. The cpu itself never goes above 55-56 degrees, even on higher volts.

Does anyone know if this socket temp is alright and if I can push voltages higher to get a higher OC. My cooler is a Corsair H75 and my case is a CM HAF XB Evo with 200 mm top intake and a 120 mm push pull exhaust in the rear of the case, and 2 120mm fans in the front as intakes.

I changed my 200mm fan to an exhaust and the socket cooled by 4 degrees and managed to push up to 1.38 volts and 4.7GHz while staying at 78 degrees, but CPU-z shows that the speed fluctuates. I guess I will be going back to stock vcore and 4.6GHz.
