I'm concerned about the TMPIN1. I believe it's related to the northbridge temperature, though I'm not sure. I've also configured 1.382Vcore in BIOS, but my motherboard doesn't support any LLC option. Despite all these attempts, this is the stable overclocking I've reached. Is it safe to keep using this setup?
NB and HT clock are at 2200 MHz, RAM at 1866 (stock 1600).

I just reviewed my AMD AM3+ details and what I'm discussing is the VRM, not the northbridge. The Northbridge refers to the 990FX chipset, which seems unrelated to the 100°C reading you mentioned. I believe it's about the VRM temperature that controls power delivery to the CPU. VRM temperatures tend to increase depending on the VCORE voltage. Try directing a fan toward the area I highlighted (PC fan, window fan, etc.) with the case panel removed and observe if temperatures decrease slightly. The area I circled includes the VRM, the heatsink below is the northbridge, and below that is the southbridge. If temperatures drop, consider installing a fan to push air downward onto the VRM.

Your CPU temperatures are higher than what's ideal. AMD advises that the package temperature shouldn't surpass 62°C during extended use. This is likely related to the northbridge VRM, which is the only part on that motherboard that can reach such high temps without damaging itself. Most VRMs have ratings between 105°C and 125°C. If it reaches exactly 100°C and never exceeds it, it might be throttling, but it doesn't appear to be slowing down the CPU—possibly due to northbridge frequency adjustments. Or the reading could be off.

Regarding safety, it should be fine. The CPU is running warm, but only during stress tests and not under normal usage. If it stays within limits and isn't throttling, it should be okay. AMD recommends keeping the package temperature below 62°C.

I test again with OCCT and at 101°C the temp limits the CPU. The cause of high Northbridge temps is likely related to the CPU core voltage, and I should note that I've kept the Northbridge voltage set to auto.

I anticipate the board will manage that overclock. That said, it's an MSI and they tend to prioritize style over substance.
