Ran aida64 for an hour and was getting 55-60 C (ambient temp around 17C). I tried going to 4.3 without touching the voltage but got a BSOD. I will probably try again tonight when I get some time. Not sure how far I should try to push it
i5-3570K @4.5GHz on a Corsair H80i, lows around 25C and highs no more than 70C all at stock voltage which I'm surprised I managed though it may be my ASRock Extreme4 doing auto adjustments and what not.
These are from my 24/7 5ghz OC post on overclock.net and max temp was 52c running IBT AVX standard 10pass run not sure exactly my ambients at time and also as far as volts at CPU was 1.536v or so. Well as for my cooling it is a 1 of a kind liquid cooling system involving a V8 copper / brass 5core car radiator for my 1973 GTO was new and went with a summit racing radiator in the car and a cummins trans cooler between GPU's and CPU also new both have PC fans mounted on them all this is mounted in a custom cooling cabinet under my computer.
3770k cooler is H80i, thermal paste is arctic silver. i can't seem to overclock tho lol, multiplayer is x42 but can't get the core speed to go past the stock speeds. not sure if my mobo is not up to overclocking or what :(
BeQuiet Dark Rock Pro 3 (silent profile set in BIOS)
Case fans @ 7volts
After 4 hours of FPU stress test in Aida64 :
Cpu 48c
Socket 60c
Could probably push this chip a lot more! It's my second Fx-8350 and this one is almost too easy to overclock compared to my last one which required 1.387V to be stable @ 4.4ghz.
man you need to work on your socket temp otherwise you are in for bad times or bad stuff to go wrong add a fan pulling the heat off the VRM's and out back of case by doing this you will reduce heat saturation of the CPU socket / motherboard. PLZ don't blow air onto the VRM's this forces the heat to make contact with the mobo and socket further increasing heat saturation of the CPU socket.
PLZ look at my post and you will see my VRM's and socket temps are very manageable even at 5ghz 24/7 OC running something like IBT AVX standard full run 100% stable pass on AMD FX 9590 which is literally worst case scenario so if temps are way in the green like they are on mine the mobo and CPU and such will last much longer.
I also want to say as the socket temps go up the CPU DIE temps will also and the VRM temps when they go up efficiency is lost making more power to be lost in form of heat rather than turned into usefull power so keeping these temps down will allow for much higher overclocks with less voltage the key to overclocking on the AMD FX is keeping temps down lower you keep them the less voltage they will require in general.
