AMD 960T overclock

[tres_kun]

I had the entire morning to myself and my pc
So let us do something interesting
Got a AMD 960T on my MSI 990XA-GD55 AMD 990X Chipset

Having a X3 705e at 3.8Ghz 1.45V temperature 47 Max
The 960T will unlock whenever it wants but on x6 got it at 3.9Ghz on 1.65V
On X4 got it to 4.3Ghz with 1.65V again

The interesting thing is that without the side panel on the cpu block does not get warm
In the same circumstance as the x3 at 1.65V dose not go over 37 degrees

Should i push it further? i am scared frankly but it is a itch

That is the thing i do not get
Load temperature dose not go over 40 degrees compared to the x3 at the same voltage it gets 47 degrees

But at the moment the videocard might be passing to the afterlife
HD 5850 will not run with any OC anymore and overall load temp went up by 10 degrees

I had it running at 900/1200 the last year
It was doing 950/1300 stock voltage but at the moment 800 is the max it will do

Found out the dust filters at the front of the case were full and the card had no fresh air making an oven in the case

If you can get it to X6 3.9GHz on that voltage you can use that 24/7 if temperature dose no go over 52
I was after some crazy Overclock level for the pleasure of it
