I recently decided to overclock with the auto overclock on my mobo and wanted to know if this voltage was a good voltage for its speed.. the temps are around 68 - 74c (hottest core) when running prime95 for a min.

Thank you!
 
Solution
Auto overclocking tools always allocate more voltage than is required, which pushes up the temperature. You'll get better results by overclocking manually via the BIOS.

Run Prime95 for 30 minutes and see what the temperature's like.
