CPU is rated for 4.2 ghz
however mine is running at 4.6 ghz
others on Newegg have similar speeds with Asus Sabertooth and 1102 bios.
before updating it ran at fact spec 4.2 ghz- variable speeds.
temperature are all over with 4.6 ghz speeds. 31-45 to max of 51 (prime95)(room temp is 86 F)
When mobo is set to AUTO - it drop each core down to 1.4 ghz and ramps up as soon as load demands.
max temp per amd is 61.1 C
Using thermaltake maxorb which has performed well in past.
4.6 is a nice speed- will running this chip at slightly over full speed 100% of time compromise the cpu or should I turn it back to variable speed(s). Or am I pushing it too far??
Thanks
