I own an AMD FX 4300 with a quad-core overclock to 5.1ghz at 1.452v. It's currently at 59c socket, package 58c, and the room temperature is 20°C (hwinfo64). The overclock is stable and passed testing with Prime95 small FFT for an hour. Are these temperatures suitable for that OC?

It's not what I expected, but my FX 8350 is overclocked to 4.4Ghz at 1.380v. It's running around mid-60c idle and 80c when under stress. That's impressive, but I'm curious if it can be pushed higher—maybe reaching 5.2 or 5.3Ghz.

If you turned off some of your cores on the 8350, could you achieve 5ghz at those temperatures? Maybe even higher with a dual-core, quad-core, or hexa-core setup?

It seems a 4Ghz 8-core AMD chip would be better than an AMD FX 4300 at 5ghz. No harm done to the original poster. Locking down cores will definitely help lower temperatures since fewer cores are active, which also reduces power consumption. You could try it if you're interested.
