[SOLVED] My 2700x is Running 100c while doing a cinnabench, benchmark.

[Noltez]

I have a 2700x with a stock wraith prism. I tried to overclock this processor But @ 4ghz it reaches very close to 100c and even sometimes shuts down. Ive seen people push this cpu further with the same stock cooler. Is this normal during cinnabench? Or are my temps to high?

Your first problem is that stock cooler, never rely on amd oem heatsinks for anything.
Your other problem is the preapplied thermal grease they included on that wrath heatsink fan.
If your going to rely on air cooling get a good quality one, yeah the price is steep but worth it in the long haul.

If you want to try your hand at water cooling, go with corsair and this thermal grease here.

You don't need to overclock that CPU if you buy a good 140mm single or dual tower cooler. It will probably hit 4Ghz with AMD defaults on all cores with a dual tower.

The Noctua NH-D15 is a very good heatsink but it isn't exactly cheap. If you want something a little more wallet friendly then you could get a Scythe Mugen 5 Rev.B
