    Its actually quite stupid oc'g a 4 core to 4.7 Ghz. I can assure you that neither of those games nor any other game nor application for that matter would use 5 Ghz of 4 core speed. Not even my 2.8Ghz quad gets even close to full usage on Farcry 3 for example. So your pretty much running extra voltage for nothing.

    That's pretty normal, but if you want to lower it, you may have to lower your OC settings to 4.4ghz. That should shave off about 5 degrees C. The more you OC it, the hotter your CPU gets.
