The FX 8370 will throttle at a CPU temp of 55C and/or a core temp of about 63C. You're too hot.
The CX/CXM series are low quality, please consider a higher quality power supply. Tom's Hardware PSU Tier List. It's a little outdated, but should give you an idea of what brands and models are higher quality.
What are you using for a cooler? Hopefully not stock.

48C is only 7C below the temperature at which it thermal throttles. Please consider a better cooler.
ok Thanks bud well honestly hose temps were with prime im never going to really hit this as my computer never rlly hits 60% load so i still think is hould be fine
like normally im aroudn 34c I just forgot to mention the reason i had those temps was in fact because i was running prime95. so i am sure that makes a world of difference

So if im getting those temps without prime95 do you think i should be ok cuz im sitting aroudn 34 36 C sometimes it drops to 30-29 . if so im going to try and get it to 4.7ghz hehe or if u think i dont need to go to 4.7 i can just hold off till something better

Seeing as you're already at +.13V, I wouldn't go much higher because I worry about the motherboard VRMs overheating. If that happens, they may deliver unstable power and slowly damage the CPU over time.
Assuming it's even stable, going from 4600MHz to 4700MHz will yield less than a 2% performance increase.

hehe ok ill keep it at 4.6. but i know the stable for 4.5 and that is at +1.1 . so that wont be as harsh i might just go to 4.5 to be on the safe side anyways. I appreciate all your info and ill deffiantly take it all into consideration. ill keep you posted
