Increase performance by reducing the processor's maximum state.
Is it secure to push the CPU beyond its limits after reducing its maximum state? You've had your temps spike on your Ryzen 7 5800X with a water cooler, reaching high readings. By lowering the max state, you managed to bring idle temps down and load temps more stable. It seems safe in this case, but always monitor closely and avoid pushing further unless you're experienced.
It won't harm your processor, but using 100% and reducing OC could boost performance.
