I recently installed an aftermarket cooler (hyper 212 Evo with mx-4 thermal paste) and overclocked my x4 870k to 4.4 GHz with a voltage of 1.4625, thermal margins on AMD overdrive lays around 41.5 degrees under half an hour of prime95. I was just wondering, what is the max temperature of the x4 870k (without it throttling), so I know what a safe thermal margin is for this CPU. Or what is max safe thermal margin for this CPU?
Another thing: is it safe to push my AsRock fm2a78m-hd+ further than 1.475 volts so i can overclock my CPU to 4.5 GHz?
