Idle temps seem good. The max temp is getting a bit close to 90 degrees but honestly you'll be absolutely fine. As long as you arent running some stress test 24/7, you'll be fine. If you're worried about the temps, try adding another fan to the cooler if you can, buying a better fan for the cooler or ensuring that you have adequate air flow from case fans. But yeah, as Nacho said above, you can push it further.

That's a good chip you got there mate, you can push it to 4.8 and maybe even 4.9 with a good cooler and at a higher voltage.

pretty good, i would say its OK up to 85-90C, 55C when gaming is really good tho :)

I spent $2500 on building my PC and all i do with it is play no games atm & watch anime at 1080p(finally) watch YT and write essays...  nothing, it just sits there collecting dust...

Builds:

The Toaster Project! Northern Bee!

"Here is some advice that might have gotten lost somewhere along the way in your life. 

 

#1. Treat others as you would like to be treated.

#2. It's best to keep your mouth shut; and appear to be stupid, rather than open it and remove all doubt.

#3. There is nothing "wrong" with being wrong. Learning from a mistake can be more valuable than not making one in the first place.

 

Follow these simple rules in life, and I promise you, things magically get easier. " - MageTank 31-10-2016
