Hi all,
So i have just got done doing a stress test on my new build (specs below) and i was wondering that, based off the temp, can I overclock an extra 100mhz safely?
After stress testing with prime95 for 20 minutes, My cpu temp reached 54c and stayed steady for around 10 minutes (this is after the 20 minutes, so then 10 more minutes at full load at 54c). I should mention that i have unlocked 2 more cores on my phenom II so i cant get individual core temperatures, but i can obviously "re-lock" them to get core temp monitoring back.
So, are these temps good for max load?
Can i overclock to 3.5ghz without throttling?
specs
probably not needed, but someone might need them to give me a hand
ASUS M4A87TD evo
AMD Phenom II X2 B59 dual core 3.4ghz (when unlocked, name changed to Athlon II X4 559, dunno why)
XMS3 DDR3 Corsair 4x2 RAM
NVIDIA Geforce GT640 2GB from EVGA *possibly dead* (no drivers because of black screen plus lock up when they are installed...)
Poor quality Kenteck 650W PSU *will replace when i have the money* (most likely <450W)
Thanks in advanced for the help!
