I have had my chip up to 4500, small FFT stable into 4.1s but anything more and one core will fail quick.
dude, I have similar problem.. Mine does 4.0 with only 1.288 load but cores reaches 84-85 (coretemp). it idles at 44 but it adds another forty degree when it loads. I think it is totally weird. When I set the voltage higher and set higher mhz it reaches above 100 and it throttles!!!! but I swear there is no physical sign that it is really that hot. I touch the cooler and it is just warm. The air comes back from the cooler is also cool. I know that if it is really that hot, a real hot air should come out from the cpu cooler and case cooler..

I would just like to know when the cpu throttles does it mean that it really gets that hot or it throttles just because the sensors tells it to throttle even they are wrong?? ı mean can the cpu throttle because of broken sensors even though it is not that hot in real??
