What should you do? Be very happy that you have a cheap system that runs past 4 GHz.

Intel's upper thermal limit for the Wolfdale CPU's is a little over 70 C, so 50 C is good.

If you are using the stock cooler, get a better one.

As i have already said i have a thermal right i90(cooler).which mobo would you recommend to overclock higher then this?

Oops. I missed the cooler.

You are either close to or at the limits of the CPU. A better motherboard would not be worth the cost.

My E7500 cannot run higher than 4.11 GHz. It is 24 hour Prime95 stable though.
