CPU core temp is what you need to watch. Some temp monitoring apps don't specify what you are actually watching. Try AMD Overdrive. It will show Temperature Margins (TM). TM is how much room you have left until you reach the danger zone...so to speak. The smaller the TM number, the hotter the core(s).

If you have your FX-8300 @ 4.5GHz, you must have gotten a high-binned CPU. The 8300, 8320, 8350, 8370, 9370, 9590, etc are all the same chip. Just lower or higher binned.
