i7 5960x running hot
Hi, this is my initial post here, please accept my apologies if the order feels a bit off. I recently overclocked my i7 5960x to 3.7ghz using OC Genie 4 with a H115i cooler. Without the original overclock, it would idle around 44c. At 3.7ghz it idles about 60c, but during stress tests with Cinebench it reached 91c at maximum. I keep my system dust-free through regular cleaning. I'm seeking advice on this CPU and its heating performance.

Also check for the latest BIOS update for your motherboard. Review the voltage settings in BIOS, note the ambient air temperatures, and confirm if your case airflow is properly configured. Issues with fan orientation or cooling block placement can affect performance.
