Hey guys, I've been experimenting with overclocking lately. I successfully boosted my 8350 to 4.5ghz at 1.4 volts.
During a Prime95 10-minute stress test, my CPU would frequently freeze and get quite hot (around 65°C).
I also ran the built-in CPU-Z stress test, which caused the system to stall after about 30 minutes.
On the flip side, I've played GTA V and Arma 3 for over an hour each recently, and the Heaven benchmark has run without any problems so far. Temperatures stay manageable, rarely exceeding 50°C.
My concern is whether I should be worried about pushing my CPU that hard during those tests. Also, just a quick note—pun intended!

This stress test aims to push your CPU to its limits beyond regular usage. If your system runs smoothly, that's a good sign.

The stress test is meant to push your CPU to its limits beyond normal usage. If the computer runs smoothly, that's good.
Alright, just checking.
Thanks man! 😀
