Hi!

Im just wondering if my cpu ( AMD x3 720 BE, stock fan) is cool enough to overclock. It's about 25-31 celsius when im not doing anything deamanding and about 40 celsius when i've played crysis for one hour.

and would you recommend me unlocking the fourth core? :)

Thanks in advance

Yes is cool enough. Just go with small steps and dont over do it I highly advice if you have the stock cooler on to replace it with an aftermarket cooler ( you will still be able to overclock with the stock cooler and stay within recommended temps but dont expect more than 200-300mhz increase with the stock cooler)
