Hi,
Your CPU reached temperatures between 96-97°C during the stress test using Prime95. The i7-9700K with Gigabyte Z370p D3 cooler and Noctua NH-D15 fan was used. Is this temperature range typical for such a setup under load? I've overclocked it to 5GHz, set voltage at 1.340, and enabled turbo mode on the fans. The fan seems to be functioning properly. Could you check if the cooling system is operating as expected? Your SS is available here: https://ibb.co/SwjBYfp. Thanks.

Additionally, the cooler has been just installed. The thermal paste is brand new, and I've double-checked that all the screws are securely tightened for a proper fit.

Run it down before things get out of hand.
That power level is too intense for just an air cooler.
Set it to the medium setting instead.

I turned off the OC right now. In games I maintained stable temperatures up to 70°C, but only with Prime95 did I reach those levels. I need to discover a more consistent solution before attempting another OC. Appreciate the details.

The case cooling is functioning properly. Multi-core enhancement is currently disabled.

case cooling performs adequately, nothing outstanding. Added two extra fans on the case. Multi-core enhancement is active. A friend mentioned that 1.34v isn't too high for 5Ghz, especially since the default Vcore is 1.3v. Should I raise it to 1.35 or 1.36?
