I upgraded my CPU using the provided guides and followed the instructions carefully. The process went smoothly, achieving a stable 4.7 GHz at 1.22V. During stress testing with AIDA64, I encountered crashes after a few runs but managed to stabilize the system. The main concern is whether these issues are related to the stress tests or if they persist during normal operation.

Which release of P95 are you running? 28.9 can severely strain your CPU, and only the most reliable versions will survive. The typical player won't endure its demands like 28.9.

Which P95 version are you running? 28.9 can really tax your CPU to its limits, and only the most reliable models will handle it. The typical gamer won't push a CPU this hard as 28.9.

Which P95 version are you running? 28.9 could overload your CPU completely, while only the most reliable models will survive. The typical gamer won't endure such demands as 28.9 does. v28.10 build1

Yeah 28.1 remains quite challenging. Anything above 26.6 is likely to be a tough one. I’d prefer sticking with Aida 64, OCCT, or P95 26.6 Small FFT.

Additional information includes employing Prime 95 Version 26.6 or lower for more precise stress tests and temperature measurements. The updated versions offer more accurate readings; detailed guidance can be found at the provided links. The referenced quotes highlight that Prime95 v26.6 is suitable for CPU thermal assessments, especially with its steady-state workloads. It supports various processor generations and maintains stable temperatures despite AVX implementations in newer models. For further details, see the sources listed above.

Yeah 28.1 is still pretty tough. Basically anything past 26.6 is going to be a brutal test.
I would stick to things like Aida 64, OCCT, or P95 26.6 Small FFT.
Good to know, just downloaded 26.6 and will do some more tests.
