FX 6350 Temps

[Ryujin2003]

Hi everyone.

 

I just upgraded my air cooler to a Corsair H100i AIO. I've obtained a good 4.4 OC on air, and I've been trying to get something higher with the AIO. I'm up to 4.5 currently, and it seems stable. I've done a bunch of searching online, and I know that the temps for AMD MB's are weird. My question is that the only temp that has me sort of worried is my TEMP 2 reading. Without load, it runs ~55 degrees C, but under Prime 95 its reaches ~82 degrees C. What is a "safe" limit for this? Is this my socket temp? If not, which physical part of the board is this? I can keep playing with my voltages to see if I can get it lower. Is TEMP 2 something to worry about?

 

Again, practicing OC on an FX so when I upgrade to something more serious, I'm slightly more educated on what I'm doing. So another related question is should I be playing more with FSB freq than with multiplier? When I raise FSB above 200, it's much harder to stabilize than with multiplier.

 

Here are my specs:

Motherboard: MSI 970 Gaming

CPU: FX 6350 Black Edition

RAM: 16GB Corsair Vengeance @ 1866

SSD: RAID 0 x2 PNY 1311

PSU OCZ 700Watt

Case: NZXT Phantom, Fullsize

 

Again, thanks in advance.
