Are my temps okay for this overclock?

[markuskong]

So I just purchased a Corsair H100i and overclocked my computer. I originally was running 4.5GHz on air with the Cooler Master Hyper 212 EVO.

My Specs:

Thermaltake Core V71
AMD FX 8350 4.0GHz (Overclocked to 4.8GHz)
Corsair Vengeance 16GB 1866MHz (Overclocked to 1926)
PNY Nvidia GTX 770 2gb Factory OC
Thermaltake Toughpower 1200W
PNY 256 GB XLR8 PRO SSD
Crucial MX100 512 GB SSD

So I decided to purchase the watercooler and push a bit further. Are my temps okay?

Thank you for your input!

So after doing research, it seems like my temps are wayyyyyyy too high. I only left my computer running for a short period of time. Would I have damages anything?

I ended up going back to my originalish over clock. I'm on stock voltage right now but at 4.5-4.6GHz with temps only hitting 50 Celsius on the socket and 30 for the CPU.

Did I over clock wrong? I've seen people hit 4.8 with decent temps... Mine went crazy high and I'm scared I damaged something... I followed JayzTwoCents on YouTube to overclock

I can't see the pictures so I don't know what your temperatures are, but if you've left the voltage at the automatic setting, that's probably where you're going wrong. Automatic voltage will always allocate too much and this leads to increased heat.

The first thing I'd suggest you do is learn how to adjust CPU voltage. I assume that you're overclocking using the BIOS rather than using software? If you are using software, I'd recommend you stop and learn how to overclock using the BIOS. Doing it this way will give you greater control and ensure stability at startup.

Thank you for your response! I was waiting forever to have someone respond. Well on the photos, I was able to expand it by clicking the expand button on the bottom right. Thats weird... I wonder if I uploaded incorrectly. Well when I overclocked JayzTwoCents way, I didn't leave the voltage at auto. I actually changed it. For me to hit a stable 4.8GHz I had to up the Vcore to 1.428. JayzTwoCents had to bump his voltage to 1.488 to achieve the same clock speeds that I had. Unfortunately, my temps reached a whopping 77c on the socket and 61c on the CPU after running Prime95 for 10 minutes. So I figured that was WAY too high in temps. So I decided to bring my overclock down to 4.54 I believe. Don't recall the exact number, sorry! But by doing this, I was able to achieve stable overclock running Prime95 for over 30 minutes with temps only hitting 50c on the socket and high 30s on the CPU. Everything passed. And this is on stock voltage which is 1.35 or whatever it was (not on auto), I did static as what showed in BIOS. I'm just contemplating if I should leave it as what I have right now or if I should try and do more... If it will really be beneficial or not. To go from where I am to 4.8 or 5. I overclocked through BIOS. And from what JayzTwoCents states, his "overclock" is through the NB and not the Multiplier. He states that the NB overclock gives better single core performance. Please help clarify!

Thank you!
