Solution clutchc Jun 20, 2017 As long as the core temps stay under 70.5C, yes. An occasional spike above that is acceptable. With htose FX processors, you may find it better to watch the core Thermal Margin instead of core temps. AMD Overdrive will allow you to do that: http://www.amd.com/en-us/innovations/software-technologies/technologies-gaming/over-drive?&gclid=EAIaIQobChMIpei62eXN1AIVDpJpCh1wCADKEAAYASAAEgLH8PD_BwE TM reads the opposite of temp. The lower the TM, the hotter the core temp. Try to stay well above 0. I like to keep it in the double digits.
