Hello Tom'sHardWare Forum.
I tried overclocking my CPU to 4.5Ghz and it's stable! 😄
But I have a concern about the CPU package temperatures. Every time I run Prime95 under stress, it reaches up to 100°C. Does this sound normal? Should I lower the GHz? Or increase the voltage? There seems to be some info there.

AMD Overdrive is the most trustworthy method for tracking temperatures on AMD processors. Other applications often provide inaccurate data.

I saved AMD Overdrive, but every time I launch the software it causes the computer to restart... what's going on?
