Hi there.I installed an AMD FX4300 3.8 to an 970 MSI 970A-G43 mb.I used the bios auto oc utility and got 4082Mhz at 1.384v.Temp at idle is 45c.For about 5 mins i performed stress test with aida 64 and it got up to 52c.cooler is ZALMAN CNPS5X PERFORMA.I read that up until 60c its ok but i was wondering if i did something wrong with installing the heatsink and maybe i should have gotten lower temperatures.It says that after 200hrs it might drop 2 to 5 deg due to better paste conductivity to heat.I am thinking of installing a corsair or zalman hydrocooling.How much lower do you think it will get?Thats all.Thanks

The most likely cause is that you are using far too high a voltage to get your CPU to that overclock, which means you are producing far more heat that it should be

Ok so because this is the optimum (for the m/b) voltage i should do what?change the voltage myself?also the extra 200 hz are that really a difference?Thank you
