My components are
Intel Core I5 8600k
Cooler Master Master Liquid 120 CPU Cooler
Gigabyte Z370 HD3p motherboard
Corsair Vengeance 2400 Mhz 8 GB X 2
Artis VIP Gold 500 (will be updated soon)
Circle Gaming Capsule Cabinet
Gigabyte GTX 1050ti 4gb
240 GB SSD Sandisk
1TB hdd Toshiba.
The room temperature is around 25°C.
System is working well at stock speed up to 40°C, but during heavy load it reaches up to 55-60°C.
When I try to overclock, the system boots into desktop and stays near 50°C.
If I run Prime95, the temperature goes up to about 90°C or more.
Why?
(I plan to replace the PSU first since I don’t trust it.)
And the current CPU cooler seems insufficient for this overclocking task.
But I’ll try overclocking and see how it performs.)

Because you must not use the newest Prime95 version for thermal testing unless you add a note in the local.txt file to avoid AVX instructions, proceed with Prime95 version 26.6 and execute "Small FFT". Temperatures should be roughly ten degrees lower. Prime95 v26.6 is the standard method for most baseline thermal compliance tests using the Small FFT option.
