I know it is not high, I just don't feel like I need that OC now.
I do some gaming and recording and rendering but i don't think that 0.6~.8 Ghz will make difference in those
uses. And it will decrease my temps as I'm using Scythe Mugen 3

59°C is a bit on the high side, specially if you notice that the Phenom2 series temperature sensors are regognizing lower temps as they are in real.
How much volts you need for 4ghz? 1.425v?
Try to lower it.
Many Phenom2's are fine with much lower volts @ 3.7-3.8, nearly same performance but cooler.
Which cooler are you using?
Running Phenom 2 X6 1090t @ 4ghz 1.4v cooled by Thermalright Macho, getting about 50 degrees.
62°C is max Temperature by AMD, doesnt matter though, but i would go lower or get a decent cooler.

I think it is @ 1.43V.
I did not OC it, the company I bought the platform from OC it.
If I do something, it is just declocking. doesn't wanna mess with BIOS.

Not at all, I don't have a good pc. its is quite old. But I needed opinions.

If you set the CPU at the normal clock then you will be to able to restore the overclock configuration if needed, that is the problem? If you can restore it, then just try. You surely get temperature lower, but especially you save money due to energy saving features of your CPU.

I have a Phenom 2 955 AMD CPU currently @ 4.0 Ghz.
I want to de-clock it to get better temps, do you think I should? Max temps are 59*C but I don't like it.
Gemme your opinions.
