It would be nice to see the numbers in this section while stress testing. They reflect temps in the socket/VRM area of the motherboard which if temps are too high there can be downclocking to protect the components. This looks like it was captured at idle instead of under stress.
Well I am happy with it like this for now until I buy cooler and one more fan. Tnx on help. Just one more thing I tried using HWInfo with Overdrive to monitor speeds and temperatures instead of HWmonitor and it seems that HW info dose not show those pesky speed drops... Is it possible that HWmonitor just derped out?

I will be happy with 4.2, 4.3 long as it works. I think this chip isnt the best but also not the worst. I will play around with it a bit to see what it can do.
There is tiny problem, I turned on PC few minutes ago and it would hard reset after few seconds and booted normaly after it. Is that normal? Only happens after OC. Forgotten to mention it was first startup in the morning, tried later to shut it down and start again it havent happend again. I guess its some sort of "Cold startup"
Edit: I think I have figured out those drops in speed, it have to do with TDP limit of 95w. Only thing I am not sure of is name of said setting and is it safe to touch it, I am aware that it can cause higher temperatures. I will try to find it for now.

The CPU is rated for 95W TDP but anytime you overclock a CPU you will exceed the TDP. That should not be a limiting factor in and of itself. The TDP is the estimated heat the CPU will produce (or the power it will draw) when fully loaded at stock frequencies and voltages using the stock air cooler.
No this is not normal. I would be concerned about the PSU in this case. All electronic devices pull much more power when they first start up than they do after they are up and running. Have you checked to make sure that the overclocked settings are retained after this happens? A lot of modern boards will reset voltages and frequencies to default when they have a startup failure.
I thought the OP got a giga board?It will be a limiting factor if the board cannot handle the higher TDP.
That has always been the problem with MSI's AMD boards.
