Earlier today i followed a guide trying to hit 5.0 ghz with the vcore set to 1.30. I BSOD'ed when trying to load into a game from the menu in BFV, so i restarted and tried 1.35 instead. I loaded in to the game and everything seemed perfect, but when i checked the temps they were really high.
So i reset everything to default in the bios but the temps are still getting very high like 95c on some of the cores like shown in the picture while in-game.

The screenshots are taken in HWmonitor while idling on the desktop with almost no applications open. (after playing bfv for 30 minutes) On stock clocks.
