I have a MSI A78M-E35 with a Athlon x4 860k.... I was attempting to overclock the cpu, at 4.2 ghz Socket temp was 43*c and thermal margin was at 44*C during a prime95 load test. I went to check the VRM temp with a FLIR thermal imager.. Most of the voltage regulators were about 155*F (68*C). I downclocked the cpu back to stock and the voltage regulators were 145-148*C underload. Is it ok to keep the cpu at 4.2, or are the VRMS too hot?
Thanks!
