I have a fx 6300 paired with msi 990FXA-gd65, overclock to 4.7GHz @ 1.45v.

Currently passes 10 run of intel burn test using very high mode. Cpu temps and northbridge temps are 60 and 96 celcius. Ambient temp about 22 celcius.

My question is:
1. Is it stable? Or should i re-run using maximum stress test with 20x runs?

2. If yes then what if i turn off the air conditioner, let the room reaches 30 celcius then re run the torture test? Obviously the temp of the cpu and northbridge will went up past that. Should i keep this overclock or back down one step? (Before was 4.6 GHz @ 1.36v, cpu and nb temps are 51 and 82 respectively)

I don't think anything on a MB should be at 96C. Definitely not the CPU. And using the std. settings for IBT is usually enough. IBT is a killer. I love my CPUs too much to go over the std. settings, and I have found that passing the default settings to be enough to have a stable PC.

With Viseras, it is sometimes hard to get an accurate temp with 3rd party pgms. Rather than depend on them to tell you possibly iffy core temps, use AOD and watch thermal margins instead. That will tell you how close you are getting to throttling. I like to keep a double digit margin.

Long term stability...

Long term stability is best determined with something like prime95 running over night if it is that important to you.

i see.. already run prime95 about 8 hours 31 minutes, nothing wrong whatsoever. highest cpu temp was 57.9 and NB temp is hovering around 87. I dont know will this hit the thermal limits if it were tested on high temps.

Mostly, i play withair conditioner turn on and also nothing can load this cpu that much even though i play games like bf 4 and record it with Raptr.

So can i call good to go with this settings? maybe in the future i should slap a fan to cool the northbridge also?

Doing that will void the warranty right? i already settle back to 4.6 GHz. Its just that my cpu voltage requirement is a bit weird dont you think? 4.4 GHz @ 1,34v to 4.6 GHz @ 1,36v is pretty normal. But from 4.6 GHz to 4.7 GHz requires 1,45v. Neary 0,1volt difference >.<

guess i will be settling at 4.6 GHz @ 1.36v after all. Maybe try bumping it up when i reallly decided to attach a fan there or changing the NB heatsink. Thanks! Btw your AMD Overdrive app suggestion is amazing. :D
