Hey, so I'm trying to get into overclocking my CPU which I've had for a while and after following der8auers https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=CoUtA7DKXhU guide step by step I booted into Windows and immediately downloaded Prime 95 with "CpuSupportsAVX=0" put in the local to disable AVX I'm hitting 90 degrees within minutes of starting it, this isn't normal is it? My specs: Case: Air 540 with two extra Fractal R3 fans up top Motherboard: Z370-A Prime CPU: i7 8700k CPU Cooler: R1 Universal GPU: EVGA 1080 TI SC RAM: 16 GB DDR4 3000 MHz PSU: EVGA 750W Gold Out of the whole year owning my CPU I've never bothered to overclock and I've watched two video tutorials so far on it and have not managed to have success following either one. The other one I followed was this: https://youtu.be/bD1Ze80GpLo by Boosted Media and copying those settings from his BIOS and trying to emulate it led me to failing the OCCT test with over 400 errors. I went back in and tried raising the voltage but to no prevail. If anyone can end helping me get this working stable I will literally PayPal you $25 LOL, I've built PCs all my life with my Dad teaching me since I was young but when it comes to overclocking I honestly feel like I have a mental deficiency. My idle temps: https://imgur.com/a/xdUnH2Q 5 Minute OCCT Test: https://imgur.com/a/hVVSMt2 Some BIOS pics: https://imgur.com/a/4kc5zj4 let me know if you need ANYTHING.
