Notes:
For someone new, excellent work.
Swiftech is a tailored loop built specifically for you. It includes a pump (DDC), rad, res, CPU block, fittings, tubing. You can swap or upgrade any part and add other rads/blocks as needed. A great starting point for custom loops. Probably won’t show much temperature variation with standard helix fans. The noise difference is minimal. Plus the flexibility to customize.
Thank you. I tend to lose interest quickly, so I’m likely to switch to a custom loop or even go for Swiftech eventually when I have more time and funds. For now, I’ll adjust this until it meets my needs. We’re expecting our first baby this month, so most of my free time will be spent caring for a newborn.
You might achieve the optimal custom loop configuration available, but it won't change much. The issue lies in how the CPU heat spreader connects to the dye, not the cooler's connection to the CPU. You can either destroy your CPU or wait for a better one next time. The maximum temperature is 100°C, and the chip doesn’t reduce performance until that threshold is reached. I use my 7700k on a Kraken X62, delivering 5GHz at 1.39 volts. Benchmarks show temperatures reaching 90°C in tests. There’s still room for improvement—about ten degrees to work with. Be aware, anyone claiming otherwise without engineering experience at Intel is making unrealistic claims. Good luck!
Congrats
It will take some time before you have the extra time
Thank you. So I thought everything was fine and I began blending on prime95. After 3 hours and 17 minutes there was an error and worker 7 stopped. What should I do next, rerun the test, lower the frequency to 4.7ghz, boost vcore, or just ignore it lol?
The typical adjustment involves increasing the vcore voltage slightly or reducing the clock speed a bit. What voltage mode are you employing (manual or adaptive)? You can use the HWInfo64 to track temperatures and focus on CPU cores and VRM. It's not advisable to opt for an "unstable" overclock; based on my experience, issues like "worker has stopped" usually stem from memory-related configurations such as RAM overclocking or CPU cache clock/voltage settings.
The default approach is to slightly increase the vcore voltage or reduce the clock speed. What voltage mode are you employing (manual/adaptive)? Monitor temperatures with HWInfo64, focusing on CPU cores and VRM. I wouldn't opt for an "unstable" overclock; based on my experience, a "worker has stopped" issue is usually linked to memory-related configurations (RAM overclock, CPU cache clock/voltage). In manual mode until a stable overclock is achieved, I intend to transition to adaptive. After running the test for 4 hours and 15 minutes with no errors at 4.8 ghz and XMP enabled, I haven't performed memory tests yet. The temperature spiked once to 80, but generally remained near 73. Would you suggest adjusting the vcore or multiplier further?
if this machine isn't meant for professional tasks but only for entertainment, and it doesn't experience issues like crashes or errors, keep it as it is for now.

if this computer is not used for work, just for gaming, and it's not crashing (games/programs or BSOD) I'd leave it as is for now.
if the system become unstable on normal use, you know what to do
Sounds good. If I have issues I guess I'll have to change some things but for now I'm going to enjoy it while I have the time. Thank you again for all your help.
