I got a EKWB Predator 240 liquid cooling unit for Christmas and thought about overclocking it.
I managed to hit 4.7ghz @1.265V on the Vcore and a 4.4ghz OC on the CPU cache.
The tool I use for checking temperatures and stability is Intel Extreme Tuning Utility.
Once I got a stable setting, I decided to try another program, which was Prime95.
At first, everything worked well for about 5-10 minutes with temperatures around the mid 60s. But later, my temps jumped into the 70s, 80s, and then 90s in seconds, so I turned off the PSU to prevent damage.
I ran the test again and the same issue happened during that period (took 7-9 minutes).
Do you think there’s something wrong with this kind of behavior?

The way you check for primes in your running code matters. Just avoid using it anymore—it’s no longer useful. I believe versions prior to 26.6 are acceptable, while anything after the Intel processors is better.
