I recently tried overclocking my i7-9700KF to 5.00GHz using Intel XTU. I then ran the stress test built in to XTU and watched HWinfo as it had a maximum temp of 75 C. However, when I ran prime95 it skyrocketed to 100 degrees celcius before thermal throttling and me shutting down the test as I didn't want to damage my CPU. I realize that prime95 is not a good example of average loads on a CPU, but it seemed fine when I ran the intel XTU stress test. Will it be ok if I keep it overclocked at 5.00 GHz?
Thank you in advance for the help.
