gigabyte GA-990fxa-ud3 / fx-8320 OC'ing help

[d4z]

So I'm following this overclocking guide by sin0822( http://www.overclock.net/t/1140459/bulldozer-overclocking-guide-performance-scaling-charts-max-ocs-ln2-results-coming ) and I've gotten to step #4. I've got my multiplier @ 22 (4.4ghz) and 1.3vcore voltage. I've set LLC to extreme and disabled C1E, C6, cool & quiet. I'm in windows and about 30 seconds after running prime 95, my temps have gotten to this:

I know tmpin2 is my CPU and is under 62c but I'm not sure which is the socket and which is the NB and what temps are their max. Do these numbers look okay? Is there something I can/should change to lower that TMPIN1 temp?

Your max should be 75c, those are fine, but run it longer, preferably overnight to check for stability.

TMPIN2 is probably core temp, while TMPIN1 is probably a socket temperature which is safe while lower than 72 by default. TPIN2 safe is while lower than 62 (that what amd says).

Thank you SO MUCH! Those settings worked perfectly for my rig! Now I'm runng prime just to check it out. And like you, HMonitor is saying I have some Super cool temps. I have the Noctua D15, and a fan behind the VRMS at 2000 RPM's. Along with the other 7 I have going LOL!
Thanks again, now I think I know what my problem was all along! My VCore was too high.
