Corsair H80i push/pull config safe to OC?

[Jason Jamelo]

I have a Corsair H80i that I'd set to pull configuration for a less maintenance , coz if I do a push/pull , it's just a pain in the ass to clean those dust accumulated into the rad by the push fan every 6 months or more. Now, I want to overclock my AMD 1090T from 3.2 to 4GHZ but I'm too hesitant to do such things ( FEAR OF HIGHER TEMPS) . My questions are , Is it safe to OC if I'm just using pull config? If so, what is the best RPM settings ? And lastly , what is the maximum safe temp for AMD 1090T ? Coz I really cant find a decent answer on the net . Btw , I have two 120mm intake fans infront of the case 1200RPM
Thanks in advance!
Peace up!

Why would it be risky?

Yeah it is. AMD rated those CPUs at 62c max.

pull or push doesnt make a difference, push+pull config only increase your thermal dissipation slightly, normally people who do push pull just run the fans at lower rpm for silence, while performing the same

 

to see whether it is safe, just run some stress test after you overclock and observe the temperature, if you're uncomfortable with it then stop the test and downclock

your cpu will shut itself down before it damage itself

one that doesnt make your computer sound like a jet engine, while maintaining good cooling

says there TJ max 80celcius, not sure though

Sir , I'm from a tropical country, which is hot during summer, the room temp here usually from 30-36 C (windows open) .. I rendered last week an animation.. and my CPU temps goes up to 65 C
