So, currently i've been doing an overclock for my fx.
Now it's at 4.2ghz, with stock voltage 1.344v
Actually i'm new at overclocking, and i found a good tutorial how to overclock the fx cpu (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=MckeAmnDeTk&t=757s). I do the same in that video and then i try to stress testing, and here is the result:

So i wonder is it good(stable) enough?
As you can see the temp goes up to 43c at full-load, idk if it's gonna increase more or not cz i do the stress testing for 6 min.
Should i keep this settings? or need to change for the most stable sett?
Idk if i want to bump it up to 4.5ghz, any recommended settings for 4.5ghz?
and how long should i stress test for knowing that this oc is stable?
cz i'll using this pc for about 10hours or more XD

Btw, my motherboard is Gigabyte GA-970a-D3P(rev 1.0) and the cooler Hydro H105 Extreme

1 pass is not enough to tell if it is stable. Run it for an hour at least. If it passes then it is good to go. 43c is not bad but it will heat up a lot more then that over an hour. As long as you keep it below 65c while stress testing your ok. However as a rule the FX series should not go above 62c.

All cpus clock differently. Main 2 things with the fx series are keep below 62c and vcore below 1.5v

At 72c the cpu will throttle down and anything above 62c will shorten its' life

Ahh okay, i'll stress test once again with the same settings for 30min or more i guess? if the max temp doesn't go above 62c then it's stable right?
 


Load Line Calibration? i set it to normal i guess, cz the only available is Normal,Extreme,Medium,Low,Standard
It was auto before, so...
 
I've run the stress test for hour and no crash no fail, max temp at 45.6c
but sometimes while the stress test running, the core speed drop to 1475Mhz, is that normal?
