True, I've seen FX chips having a TDP of up to 125-220w

Yeah, for a long time nothing Intel had to offer reached that high up until the 6th Gen Extreme Edition Core i7s, if I recall correctly.

 

Good luck on your overclock!

OK, I'm up to 4.2 GHz now, seems stable, still running a stress test and these are the numbers I'm getting.

That 1.456 voltage is just a tiny spike every now and then, now the question is will a game like GTA 4 cause the voltage to rise even more, seeing as I get way higher temps running GTA 4 than an AIDA stress test.

Could be, normal load temps are around 60-70 so don't be alarmed if it does rise to that temperature. As far as voltage goes, you should be fine.

OK tested stuff out and surprisingly I got 51-52 degrees in gta 4 (which is odd, I always got higher temps in gta 4 than aida), no extra voltage, didn't go past 1.46, though it does seem to idle at 1.47 but should still be fine.

Yeah that looks pretty good!
