[SOLVED] CPU temperatures under CPU-Z & Prime 95 mismatch?

[forumsgr]

Hi guys,
I read previous threads about CPU, Temps and Cooling, so i wanted to check my new build.
I used hwinfo to check CPU temps in my buid (specs on signature). While running Prime95, it reached 100' Celcius without any errors with 100% load on all CPUs after 8-10 minutes (then I stopped it to avoid any possible CPU melt down - i5-10600k OC to 4.7 Ghz with intel easy tune).
While running CPU-Z: bench CPU test => it climp up to 67' -75' Celcius and stress CPU test => up to 89' - 92' Celcius. Cooling back was quite fast, dropping at 25' after stopping tests in 2-5 minutes.
While gaming (DIRT 2 / Crysis), temps flactuate between 40 to 60' Celcius.

Questions:
Are those temps considered normal?
Does the Prime fries cpu anyhow, regardless cooling be used?
Do you thing that new cooler is necessary?
When shall I really be concerned about high temps?

thanks in advance

Temps are normal, prime is using AVX and runs a not in reality happening workload. the Cpu would throttle before frying.

if in real world apps throttling or >85' Celsius would happen, you should consider a better cooling solution, but for now you are safe.

That (89-92C)would be a pretty high temp for CPU-Z-bench/stress CPU sort of load, IMO... (my own 7700K overclocked to 4.7 GHz all core only hits 68C on this load)

(I'd only expect such a temp if MCE was enabled, and, with perhaps a couple hundred extra MHZ per core turbo speed thrown in for good measure...or with a cooler not adequate for 10600K)
