Ok so i got my new Ocz 550w psu and im using amd overdrive and it says that each core is using 1.4125 volts. i have the cpu overclocked at 4.4ghz i just want to know if this is ok as im not great with overclocking.

That's warm but you're in the safe range before you have to worry about throttling. If you are using a stock cooler a aftermarket cooler should shave off a few degrees. I'm guessing that you have the 8350 in which case your voltage is within the normal range for your overclock. If you haven't already you could try lowering the voltage slightly and see if it remains stable.

If that's what you have the Vcore set to I would immediately set it back to default before you seriously damage your CPU. Over 1.3v is extremely high if you don't have the appropriate cooling mainly water and you're going for 4.8-5Ghz. also im from northern ireland pleased to meet you :D
