I am attempting to overclock my AMD Phenom II x6 1090T and I just wanted to make sure that my temperatures are alright. The clock is currently at 3.8ghz. I'm not really sure how long I should run a stability test for, but I figured if I ran it for 5 minutes and looked at how high it got, that would be fine. This image was taken during the 4th minute of the stability test. At that time, the temp was about 47C; I saw it get up to 48C earlier but no higher. It runs at about 30C idle. From my limited experience with overclocking and cpu temperatures, I deduced that these temperatures were fine if not pretty good. Would it be alright to try for 4ghz? Should I run the test for longer? All that I am doing currently to cause the overclock is change the multiplier in the bios to 19. Is there something else that I should do? Also, I left the cool n' quiet function on but it doesn't appear to be functioning. I assume that this is not a big deal but I am not sure. Any help/suggestions would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks
