So I've been messing around with my overclock settings again
here are the specs:
Phenom II x6 3.7ghz 1.36 volts
8gb ram 1666mhz
gigabyte 990fx ud3 with the most recent bios
750 watt corsair tx pro series
although it's only 23.8c, today was very humid.
i have adequate ventilation in my case, a antec 900
hyper 212+ with duel fans
evga 560 ti gpu
now my question is, is the cpu temperature correct or the core temperature and what should i be referring to when comparing to the limit of 55-62c amd lists.
my core's are usually at 26-40c while my cpu temp hasn't dropped below 40ish ever and hits 60c on hotter days. I have retimmed the cpu multiple times with ceramique and arctic 5 but i have never seen a huge drop in cpu temps. Also, my computer hasn't shut down or BSOD'd because of the temps yet and I have it set to have a warning (or bsdo) in the bios at 60c.
