Hello,
I'm new, so sorry if I've posted the thread in the wrong category.
My question is if it is possible for a motherboard to get more than 70 degrees just by overclocking. My highest overclock was 4.5 Ghz and the system was already running for half an hour, but then I got bluescreens, couldn't start Windows 10, and when I've resetted the BIOS and booted into Windows, Hard Disk Sentinel told me that the status of my HDD is getting worse, so I stopped overclocking for a few days. I'm using the AMD FX 6300, which is running at 3.5GHz, Turbo at 4.0GHz. By the way, the HDD is seven years old because it's from my old computer but it was not the first time I was overclocking so I guess I've damaged the HDD myself -.-
