One of the other things I do beside PC gaming is folding (done it for years). Lately I been mining too to get coins (thats another story but also interesting), so all this plus the odd encoding and developing is the reason why I dont just jump onto i5 and look at all solutions.

Much of my testing were done on the M5A99X Evo rev 1.0. the cooling initially was a TRUE 120mm by thermalright but upgraded to a Phanteks with two 140mm fans.
My case is an old Lian Li 1000v with two 120mm fans, one intake, one exhaust, nothing fancy. Pic shows M5A99X mobo, now replaced with crosshair,

I took the cpu to 67-68C on occasion but always benched where possible within 62-63C. Throttling started above 70C
Having built all that in your system you've learnt more than most already 
Overclocking on these CPUs once you get to 4.5GHz is mostly fun I think, to see how high you can get stable. If you're hitting 5GHz clocks though, even in the worst performing games on AMD you'll be doing fine.

Mechanical background and common sense = win win here!
I got my degree in computer science ages back and went a different path with the first job I applied for, main thing is we share knowledge and have similar interests - enjoy life while you can.

My degree's Classics, very competent in Latin and ancient Greek, with particular interest in Latin poetry. Doesn't tend to come in useful here
