is this safe

so im a noob at overclocking a cpu so i set my mobo to performance mode which sets the cpu to 4.3 by the way it is a 8350 and then i enabled turbo mode which means it turbos up to 4.5 it seem stable i rendered a video which pins it at 95% cpu usage and then watched a 4k video on youtube and playing a game so it was pined at 100% it was like that for about 45min and it was all good no freezing and no bluescreen so it seems good

If it doesn't crash its fine. But it is also probably putting way more voltage than needed.

i looked on cpu z and it was at 1.440v is that bad temps are fine max was 55c

The AMD temp sensors are hit and miss. Those temps I can guarantee aren't accurate if you're actually stressing your CPU.

Temps are good.

i was using real tem and speed fan and they both say the same it is water cooled by a h100i with linus's favourite fans 

[CartertheCOCguy]

should be fine, but why not just go ahead and change the settings and then OC it to 4.5 ?

The temp sensors them selves such though, not so much software readings.

i have tired but when i go to change the volts it the numbers go yellow and change to 0.7000 or some thing like that and wont let me change it

mobo?

oh what about in the bios 

[Excon]

oh what about in the bios 

Everywhere, the temp sensor is broken. Try running Prime 95, if you still get 55c then it's broken.

[CartertheCOCguy]

/\_ Also take a look at the voltage... auto-adjust can overvolt it

yea, are u using the bios?

mobo?

yea

[Excon]

ok

[CartertheCOCguy]

yea

if its the 990fx sabertooth there should be temp sensors in the mobo and the cpu

max temp was 60c with prime 95 but i did notice that the speed went down to 4.3 but it did not crash and i also had the fans at 100%

[ExcitezR]

if its the 990fx sabertooth there should be temp sensors in the mobo and the cpu

yea there is in speed fan it says temp 1 which is CPU and temp2 which is mobo it also says the same in asus ai suite

[CartertheCOCguy]

yea there is in speed fan it says temp 1 which is CPU and temp2 which is mobo it also says the same in asus ai suite

well the one on the mobo should be fine also run prime 95 for at least 2hrs

ill do that tomro it is 11:40 here and i have college in the morning and i want to be awake if it blows up or something like that lol

haha i live in a college town so i get it, have a good night

thanks
