All answears are pretty helpfull. Now i don't, need more power, cause i am still on 1080, w8 for my 3080 (nvidia suplly problem). However, I needed to know if everything was fine with the CPU and cooling. Now that you say the temperatures are normal, maybe I will try to crank up the CPU to 5.0-5.1 at temperatures lower like 85-90'C to be ready for 3080.

Hey, In standard bios config, without OC, only with XMP enable my 10900k go to 4900 bost on all cores. In short test (for example one run of cinebench) it warms up to 70'C - 75'C. It does not start to throttle . But in longer cycles, + 60sec cinebench, blender test, temperatures go above 80'C for moment and in go down to stable 4400. When on 4400 average temp is around 67'C. The temperature at rest and lightly loaded is about 35'C. My spec: Corsair Obsidian Series 500D SE RGB Corsair 32GB (2x16GB) 3200MHz CL16 Vengeance RGB PRO Corsair H115i RGB Platinum RGB 2x140mm Core i9 10900k Asus ROG Maximus XII Hero Wi-F At the moment I'm not sure if it should overclock the processor at all. Is this normal, maybe I installed the cooler incorrectly? I will be grateful for Your help.
