iirc 65 degrees C is the throttling point for FX CPUs so probably aim for 60 as max temp. increase it until that point.

The issue is my board 'sweats' (literally) where the thermal pads under the vrm start leaking resin

Ok, then either put a fan on them directly or tune it down.

 

Like so! post-225630-0-28529100-1452144568_thumb.

I ran f@H for about 15 minutes with my fans turned all the way down and I maxed at 69.4 degrees. So no to 4.5Ghz. Maybe 4

from what you're telling us, I'd replace that board immediately and get a good 990 chipset board

FireStrike // Extreme // Ultra // 8K // 16K

The 970 chipset isn't really good for 8-cores. Get an overbuilt 990FX board and you'll be much happier. Although I'm not sure whether it's worth it to invest in AdmittedlyMediocreDevices at this point.
