Last night I decided to OC my 4100, the stock speeds are 3.6ghz and I OC'd to 4.5ghz. The only thing I changed was the core clock speed, I didn't change anything else, I ran prime95 for about an hour an all seemed fine. But I can't find a program which can see the temps of my 4100 so I decided to go back to stock speeds, does anyone know any programs which can monitor the AMD FX 4100 3.6ghz please.
Thanks in advance~
Try this first. You can use the temperature monitoring software used here for Prime95 too.
CPU - Stress Test Using IntelBurnTest
That's pretty good. ... . now run a standard test using IntelBurnTest and report temps. They should go higher.
I think I might be doing something wrong, I ran the stress test using intel stress, CPU-Z shows my CPU core clock speed at 4.5ghz, but that other program called "HWiNFO64" says 2 cores are running at 4.5ghz, one at 2.5ghz and one at 3.9gh. Have I done something wrong?
My temps went up to about 50 degrees by the way
i found that with AMD, the ONLY temps that are reliable are the ones that come from your mobo programs. so i would DL and install your mobos apps to see the temps. for AMD, dont go over 62C in prime.
AMD CPUs will start throttling back at around 55C-60C to run cooler and not burn up. It sounds normal. the maximum operating temp for the FX-4100 is 70C.
AMD FX-Series FX-4100 - FD4100WMW4KGU / FD4100WMGUSBX
Intel Burn test can cause overheating with AMD CPUs.
