I am trying to test out my i7-11700k on Cinebench but it just keeps crashing and I always have the same error: CLOCK_WATCHDOG_TIMEOUT.
I have my CPU boosted to 5ghz and 1.4 volts which causes no problems when I’m playing.

Specs:

MB: MSI MPG Z490 Gaming Edge
cpu: i7-11700k
ram: Corsair vengeance lpx 16gb 3600mhz
gpu: rtx 3060ti
psu: Corsair CX series 750W 80+ bronze
Cooler: kraken x53

BIOS version at the time of writing?

First make sure you're on the latest BIOS, leave your voltages on AUTO and keep an eye on them(HWMonitor) when you run a benchmarking tool. What OS are you working with? Ram's running in X.M.P mode?
Bios version is e7c79ims.1a0 which is the latest for my board

I’m running windows 11 with xmp mode on.

set my voltages to auto and used Hwmonitor and it shows that the temps are reaching 80 before it crashed again don’t know why this is happening with a x53
