Hello guys, I've been running my 4790K at 4.7Ghz using 1.24v for 2-3 weeks now but today I just randomly felt like trying to bump up higher. So naturally, before I start OCing, I run a few quick benchmarks and decided to download Prime 95 as I hear so much about it (use Aida for my stressing). To my surprise running the small FFT test caused my core temps to shoot up to 94oC, 98oC, 96oC and 85oC according to Real Temp and HWMonitor.
What is going on, because temps during Aida tests for 6h+ never managed to exceed 72oC and during prolonged gaming sessions I have yet to see CPU temps of 60oC. Is this normal for that specific Prime 95 test or is something else going on? Quite literally as soon as I start up the test the temps shoot. I'm using a H100i with SP140s.
Thanks for your help.
