My PC plays games fine and with stress tests like Cinebench and Furmark being ok, but whenever I use Handbrake video encoding I get these crazy stats on my HWINFO64. This has happened twice past few days and I've been trying to replicate these crazy results. I don't know exactly what is doing it but I'm 90% sure it's when I use Handbrake.

The voltage on my PC never exceeds 1.4v even in idle, I'm pretty sure this 1.5v spike was when the CPU was at this crazy temperature.
Apart from XMP, the only thing I have done is set CPU max temp from 95c to 90c. I had PBO set to 'Enabled' when this first happened, then I put it back to 'Auto' afterward, seeing that's the only change I've done CPU-wise and it still caused this result. Updating the Bios did not seem to help.

I know handbrake can be demanding but no other stress tests ever do this!? Despite the crazy temps, I can't fathom how these stats are even true, it almost seems like a bug or glitch.

I could not get the first picture of the 125c, but I have similar results here after using handbrake -

Can't download first and last picture but 125c seems to be too excessive to be true, it would shut down way before it reached it or even more certainly drop frequency by far.

I edited the links above to make sure anyone can see it, sorry about that.
Thats what i don't understand, surely my PC would just turn off, I was talking to my brothers and they said it may be a bug in hwinfo after looking at the statistics.
