yep i know. my system is at its max. i cannot get any higher clocks w/o overheating is 3.6 really that bad?

Reseat your heat sink. You should be able to get 4 on air with little trouble. What kind of thermal paste and how much did you put on? Something just does not seem right.

Just seems like your cooler should be doing a better job. You really should not have a problem hitting 4ghz. Anything over that it starts to get a little harder. Have you taken everything back to defaults and just try raising your multi? I would think on auto you should be able to hit 3.8-4ghz without doing much at all. Mine will do 3.9 before I need to start adding voltage. I can do 4ghz at 1.3v and 4.4ghz at 1.525v.

it will not get that much cooler even with the best heatsink paste job,its a 125w cpu and the 6100 and 4xxx are 95w.
iam testing the 4.4ghz with the 1.39v,its passed an hour so far.

just wondering,but has anyone unlocked any module cores on an fx chip yet?

AFAIK they have not enabled the ability to do this yet. I have heard wild unsubstantiated rumors that they may well enable this possibility with the next generation.

But ya know, I have never tried on this FX-4170. Wouldn't that be nice!

I think you need a better cooler. Can you try setting to 1.295 and see if it drops the temp?
