I performed a 30-minute test this evening. I adjusted the CPU voltage in the BIOS, and it came back up—no issues detected, which is good.
You don't have to run endless tests for hours using various programs unless you're okay with occasional crashes. Just OC and use it normally—if it crashes, reduce the intensity a bit. You could push it too hard and damage it before you even start using it.
These are the temperatures during League of Legends sessions and while using a few apps.
Consider your symptoms carefully and consult a healthcare professional for personalized advice.
Be aware that FX CPUs show unusual temperature readings. If idle temperatures stay under ambient, try another monitoring app. It's unclear if HWMonitor resolved the issue yet. FX should ideally stay under 70°C during manual overclocking.
I feel like an old relic. That processor was made a decade ago and is now available for just $20 on eBay. How strange times we are living in!
If you were in the states I could actually afford it. I've seen Ryzen 1600 and similar setups for around fifty dollars. I didn't think anyone still uses FX CPUs these days when you can find old used Ryzen Gen 1 or Skylake chips for the price of a nice meal.
