When trying out FSX and FS9 on my new CPU Phenom 2 X4 3.4 GHz with a GTS250 I got these temperatures when stressing FSX and FS9FSX CPU 47 C GPU 58 CFS9 CPU 38 C GPU 58 CIs that good? If overclocking at which temperatures should I start to get worried?

Very nice temperatures. Around 70C.

62ºC for the CPU at full load (real stress testing with Prime95, Linx or OCCT, not just running FSX)90ºC for the GPU or something like that, but with that particular one temps shouldn't be too much of a problem How are you monitoring CPU temps and what CPU cooling are you using?

I'm using a program called DualCore center for my MSI mobo

Is that for all CPUs or just the Phenom X4s. If so I gotta wind my overclock down. I am around 73 degrees at full load.

Just for Phenom II. 73ºC is fine for Sandy Bridge and Nehalem

yor load temps are ok, don't let the temps go above 60 as you need headroom , max temps are arnd 70-75 that's dangerous for phenom's. Do you have an after market cooler ? Get worried at 65c. Max Phenom volts 1.4-1.5. Heck My cpu has reached 70c and 75c is max temps for my cpu. So I try to keep it below 60c.

Very good, What cooler? My 970 runs about that @ 4.0ghz 1.45VCC H70 cooler.

I have a Cooler Master Hyper 212+ (since almost all customer reviews and the reseller told me that the stock cooler is unacceptable loud)

Why should Phenom II be more sensitive at the same temperature compared to Sandy Bridge?

Because they are built differently.

Because they are built differently.

Are there any official document sources that can confirm elaborate on this?

I guess if you worked for Intel or AMD there would be, but seeing those are pretty much industry secrets I don't think so.

So 62C explicitely stated as max temperature. At any rate I see customer reviews about overclocking to 4 GHz and still below 62C- Then another question is if I have anything to gain about overclocking. Is it not rather the videocard that limits me now?
