Thanks a lot for your replies. I've lowered the vcore to 1.3125 (something like that) in bios, and monitor now shows 1.34 in both the bios and software. Temps have dropped. Now full load at 57C max. Idle down to 41. But I now have a 5000+ black edition, and new heatsink. time to shut down...

So I went into the bios and manually changed the core voltage to 1.35, but monitoring software still sees 1.39v. Went back into the bios and changed the setting to 1.325 and now it is displayed as 1.36 in the bios. My question now is which do I believe? My bios settings or the softwares...

Also I do have 4 case fans. two intake two exhaust, and cables are tied up as much as possible to keep em outta the way.

It's stock heatsink, but using arctic silver. Friend says his cpu runs much cooler than this. But if this looks normal for the 4200 then I guess I'm alright.

So I figured it was time to get a little more juice out of my system. I've had it for a while, and didn't wanna start ocing it right when I purchased it. I have never really looked at the temps on it until now when I decided to oc it. Running stock and at full load with 2 processes of prime...

Me please, would go nice with the new rig I ordered.
