FX-8320 OC + Corsair H75 good temps or not

[LinusBE]

I OC'ed my FX-8320 to 4.3 Ghz and 1.35 V. I use a Corsair H75 liquid cooler. My temps after 30 min Prime95 are 68 degrees on the socket and 46 degrees on the core. Are these good/normal temps for this cooler?

I read the maximum socket temp is 70 degrees according to AMD.

My motherboard is an Asus M5A97 EVO R2.0

Prime stresses your CPU pretty hard so 68 degrees on the socket should be normal.
46 degrees on core is normal and not high at all, actually a perfect temperature 😀
but there nothing to worry about if your temps are always below 70 even if it seems a little bit on the high side.

Do you think I could push my CPU even further?

Maximum safe core temperature recommended by AMD for FX is 62 degrees, but to keep the lifespan of the CPU higher i would say don't go over 55 degrees if needed.
and keep the socket temperature under 70 degrees ofcourse 😉

Yeah so its a bad idea to go further I think, because I need higher voltages for higher clocks so the socket temp would go over 70 during stress testing.

indeed, well 4,3 GHz is a nice overclock.
hope i helped
