Thanks for the feedback! I'll keep this updated when I'm back online. Regarding GPU temperatures, I'm not sure which software works best—would you mind suggesting some options?

To keep track of all aspects—including RAM and storage—use HWiNFO. It may seem intimidating at first, but it's the top choice for PC monitoring.

Alright, I'm back with the CPU numbers. Please note everything is in Celsius.
Method I used - Start a timer for 10 minutes. Record the temp at the start of the timer, then record the temperature every minute.
Idle Temps
- 33, 32, 35, 33, 35, 34, 55, 41, 34, 38, 38.
Average -
37 C
.
Light Load
(5 tabs open. One tab was playing a YouTube video at 4K.)
-
33, 39, 42, 39, 34, 36, 37, 39, 35, 35, 36
Average -
37 C
.
Stress Test
(Intel XTU, CPU Stress Test for 10 minutes) - 68, 77, 80, 92, 93, 94, 90, 93, 90, 97, 97.
Average -
88 C.
During the stress test, it definitely reached the danger zone of 99 C two times, but quickly dropped down to 81-ish C. I'm assuming that's normal behaviour?
@JayGau
Edit:
If you're interested, here's a picture of the graph during the stress test.

It isn't as severe as I thought, though not perfect. When the CPU hits 99c it reduces its speed to avoid going over 100c and above. That's why it drops suddenly to 80c. This is the thermal throttling. Still, temperatures remain acceptable during light usage. What are the CPU and GPU temperatures while gaming? The games that are crashing. You might also try switching the Intel default to performance mode during stress tests to see if throttling occurs. What brand and model is your CPU cooler?

What he should do is to measure clocks without changing anything so he can see how much throttling is going on first, if it barely drops clocks then there is no reason to do anything.
The CPU is made to reach 100 the question is if it reaches the performance it should be reaching at 100.
