OCing an FX-6200, Few questions.

[~Dockie]

1. Does anyone know what the max safe voltage is for one of these? i've heard 1.5 should be ok, but i want to double check.

2. Whats the TJ max for one of these? i thought it was 62c, but reading around im getting mixed answers. some people saying 62c is only for the 8XXX, the 6XXX and 4XXX are apparently 72c?

3. would the OcUK Tech Lab - V6 Watercooling Kit 120 Be much of an improvement over a Corsair H60?

4. Do i just have a bad clocker? at stock its needing 1.4V, around 4.4Ghz its needing 1.475v and 4.5Ghz+ is taking 1.5v, i haven't ran it at that for long, because im not sure if 1.5 is safe for 24/7 use. anything less than these volts results in worker #5 failing in Prime95 (sometimes #4 fails too).

Thanks

1. around 1.5v will be fine

2. at 62c you will get thermal throttling but 70c is max safe.

3. slightly a 240 would be better

4. what do u have LLC set to? post some screenies of cpu-z, prime95 running and core temp.

I would take the coretemp readings with a pinch of salt, as its saying im idling at 19c, but here they are:

CPU LLC and CPU/NB LLC are both set to extreme.

Edit: sorry if the pic is too big, not sure if there is a size limit?
