Overclocking with corsair h60
Overclocking with corsair h60
Your setup with the Corsair H60 and AMD FX 6300 seems stable at 4.13Mhz with temperatures near 37°C under full CPU load. It's not unusual for these components to run close to their limits, but you should monitor closely to ensure they don't exceed safe operating ranges.
It's an AMD CPU. Most temperature software struggles to provide precise readings. Using AMD overdrive is tricky—it reverses the process, leaving you with the lowest possible temps, which means the lower the number, the hotter the processor becomes, but it performs best.
The H60 at idle will display temperatures 10-12°C higher than ambient. In a room kept at 23°C, expect idle temps around 33-35°C. At 4.1GHz, 100% loads should sit in the mid-to-high 60s. This is quite close to what this CPU can handle, though AMD generally has lower heat tolerance compared to Intel models.
This seems a bit unusual. I'm not sure the reading is correct. It should be a bit higher, wouldn't you think? My 8350 never looked that good, even with stock settings... What program is showing the temp? Maybe I should try another one and check if it's accurate...
I'm working with a program named HWMonitor to monitor the CPU package readings.

At 4.1GHz, 100% loads typically fall in the mid-to-high 60s. This performance is close to what AMD achieves, though Intel CPUs generally handle heat better.
It's an AMD CPU. Most temperature software struggles to provide precise readings due to its limitations. Using AMD overdrive is counterproductive—it produces a temperature that's already at its maximum, so lower numbers mean higher heat, but it still works best. The H60 at idle will show temperatures 10-12°C above ambient; in a cool room, you should see idle temps around 33-35°C. At 4.1GHz, 100% loads typically fall in the high 60s, which is close to this CPU's performance. AMD generally has lower heat tolerance compared to Intel CPUs.
Each amd cpu has a thermal limit. Core limits put it at 62°C but that's not really right either as you can't read amd cores. 72°C would be a better guess. What amd overdrive dies is it reads what the limit is and applies through its own algorithms, just what the temps you have left is. Backwards.
It's not like reading an intel pc, where you want temps below 70°C and a 52 at load and 33 at idle have meaning. In amd overdrive you'd see that you have 50° left at idle, 33° left at load, and the closer you come to 0° the hotter your cpu. If you ever see negatives, your cpu is being cooked. There's nothing exact about amd temps, they don't have the thermistors on core to accurately read the temps the way Intel cpu's do.
