Happy New Year guys.
So I built a new rig for this Holiday season, and I'm trying of course to OC my FX-8320. I'm running it on the ASUS M5A97 Evo R2.0 and it's cooled with the Cooler Master 212 Evo. Now from what I've figured out by searching online is that the max safe temperature for this CPU is 62 degrees Celsius. The problem is, I seem to find conflicting info on if that 62 max temp. is for "socket temp" or "core temp" (I'm using the latest version of HWMonitor). Hoping you guys can help me out on this one. If the 62 max temp is for "core temp", what would you guys say is a max safe socket temp?
