I need help with this, HWmonitor show me 71-72 C temperature on both cores.
CPU-z show me on CPU tab bus speed 199 mhz and core speed 2100+mhz
Multiplayer is x11 ( scale is 4-11) for multiplayer

In bios I dont have menu for overclocking. Any solutiions ?
 


Max temp range is 71c to 81c so you're in the safe range. As a matter of good practice, blow out the vents with compressed air to aid in air flow. If you're still concerned, a cool mat is an economical solution.
 
HWmonitor is a good program to check temps and it records the min/max temp. Another thing you could do is replace the thermal paste on the CPU (MX4) but I would highly recommend checking videos/guides online before attempting since you can easily damage parts if your not careful.
 


It's going higher on 85-90 C. I turn on AMD OverDrive to see and I dont know to catch voltage for x5,x6 multiplayer
