Is my build overclocking safely?

[hanjun941]

Hey there, this is my first PC build and I'm in the process of overclocking my CPU and then to my GPU, was just wondering after I've overclocked my CPU, will the addition of overclocking my GPU increase the heat of the NB chipset? because I plan to game long hours on this PC, Is this something I need to worry about if I overclocked the GPU? The chipset temp sits around 66C in stress test. Thanks

The Northbridge might become hotter due to increased temperature around it, but the graphics card in of itself will not do anything - the Northbridge still delivers the same amount of bandwidth to the card regardless of its clock speed.

Is this something I need to worry about? I can't really find the operating range for the AMD 760G chipset

No, you should be fine. Just make sure you have proper airflow.
