I've been running the game Rust for a few hours, and I haven't seen my CPU exceed 60°C even on a 4.4GHz OC. I'm just trying to determine how much more I can push it. Thanks for the help later.

This guide is excellent for boosting the FX-series performance:

As long as your thermal readings are stable, you can attempt it, though I anticipate the next stage will involve a significant jump (with little real gain).

You might attempt to increase the clock speed, but it seems the standard CPU cooler won't be enough; consider using a liquid cooler instead.

Alpha Gametauri:
You might want to consider overclocking, but I doubt the standard CPU cooler will suffice; a liquid cooler could be necessary.
I understand you're curious about how much further you can push the CPU for improved performance.
