Amd Phenom ii x4 945 OC..95w

Hello,

I Overclocked my gig using ASUS Auto Tuning .. system OC from 3.0Ghz to 3.5GHz..before OC cpu temp on idle is below 32c and load it goes upto 52c.. After OC idle 34c and load below 60c do u think this temp are fine to play games for 4-5 hrs .. using amd stock fan with 3 120mm case fans...

System Spec #
AMD phenom ii X4 945@3.5Ghz
ASUS M4A88T-M
MSI GTX 560 ti HAWK
4GB ddr3 ram@1333Mhz
Elite 430 black with 120mm 3fans
GX 550 psu...

reply soon...

The 60C temp under full load is probably at the highest stable limit for the CPU. Most folks like to keep it below 55C but if your PC is stable the temp. won't hurt the CPU at all.

Hi beenthere,

Though the temp is 60c still my PC is stable never had a problem played more than 2-3hrs...
no issues at all so i think my gig is good to go.. :lol:

most games will not push your cpu to max load, so they will never push the temp past 52c on your current setup (appr.) As long as you have run Prime95 for at least 2 hours, you should be more than fine to run games as long as you like.

On that note, i would be wary of any auto-overclocking tool your mobo has to offer. make note of your voltage, and see if it is approaching the chips max limit. you may be able to lower this a step or two, and effectively lowering your temps as well. Bios OC'ing is always more stable than auto programs, and with a lot of research and some practice, can be much more rewarding!

Again, everything you have said states this is a stable OC, but do check your voltage, and look on AMD's website to check your specific chips max voltage allowance for reassurance.
