Did you stress test it at that voltage? How hot did it get? What did you use and how long did you test for?

i used prime 95 the newest verion for around 20 mins i had it at 1190 voltage at 4.5ghz and it crashed after 3 mins so i gone up to 1195 and it seemed fine for about 20 mins

Well it turbos at 4.4 stock, so thats not much of an overclock is it?

You should be using prime95 26.6. And 20 minutes is nothing. You should let it go for a few hours at minimum. Also try intel burn test. 10 passes at maximum settings.

and just a fast ? what cpu cooler is better cool master nepton 240m or nepton 280l i am rmaing my cooler and they gave me those 2 choices

280l providing it fits your case. It's better. The reason for the older prime is because the newer versions are unsafe for haswell CPUs and can cause damaged to your chip. Again, I suggest testing for longer with prime, and doing 10-20 passes of intel burn test at max setting.

i had both 280l and 240m and it seems that the 240m has better temps and the 280l with worst anbd is louder

Just google prime 95 26.6

Hmm I figured the 280 would be better as its a larger rad. Guess not
