Hi all.

Setup
ASUS M5A97 LE mobo
AMD FX 6300 clocked at 4.0ghz
patriot ram 8gb 1866
CM TX3 cpu cooler
XFX r7870 gpu
750 watt psu

my temps are
idle 43 C
max load from prime95 at 57C
regular use is like 47C to liike 50C

voltages
1.2V (but my cpuid says 1.3V) cpu
1.16 NB

i hope i'm not missing any other information but i was just wondering if these temps are stable and safe for my rig and also if i could possibly overclock a little bit more? I turned off turbo too.
 
Solution
the m5a97 LE isnt made for overclocking (no heatsink on the vrms)
and that tx3 cooler isnt a very good one, you should get an hyper 212 instead.

Safe temperatures for AMD fx- cpus are :

<62c for core
<72c for socket
