I have an A10 6800k with a clock speed of 4.8ghz and 1.5125V. It hasn't been stable lately, especially during Cinebench runs where the temperature reached 52C. I'm unsure what's causing the instability. Some people mention NB and NB MHz, but I don't understand those terms. The system starts to change temperature as soon as it's under load.

Install AMD Overdrive and keep an eye on the thermal limits rather than relying on third-party temperature tracking tools. You should also perform a stress test using a program like Prime95 version 26.6, not just Cinebench. This voltage level appears quite high.

You should set up AMD Overdrive and keep an eye on thermal limits rather than relying on third-party temperature tools. It’s also important to perform a stress test using something like Prime95 version 26.6, not just Cinebench. The voltage level you mentioned seems quite high. Core Temp appears to provide a more reliable temperature reading. I reduced my speed to 4.4ghz and adjusted the vcore by +0.125. I’m unsure what the vcore setting actually does—does it boost voltage for all cores or just one? I have this motherboard with features I’ve never seen before.

You should set up AMD Overdrive and keep an eye on the thermal limits rather than relying on third-party temperature monitoring tools. Also, perform a stress test using something like Prime95 version 26.6 instead of just Cinebench. The voltage level you mentioned seems quite high.
