Thank you for opening my question

I just overclocked my AMD FX 6300 using this tutorial: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=T9uXysmgPi8

I have a CoolerMaster Hyper 212 Plus cooler. Idling on my desktop, these are my temps (Not sure which ones are important. I know CPU and Package are important, but I don't know how to interpret it). I'm using HWMonitor.

Temperatures:
CPU: 39 Celsius
Mainboard: 27 Celsius

AMD FX-6300:
Package: 24 Celsius

What should I do to stress test the system and make sure nothing will overheat? What temps are considered too hot? Where do I look on HWInfo to find those temps?

Thanks a bunch
