Overclock help

[Naxi_Mu]

so i used the EZ tuner on my ASUS motherboard (i think its a Strix ROG z270 baord) and it overclolcked my CPU to 4.94 GHz, it thermal throttles under 100% load at around 5% according to AIDA, sghould i dial the OC back or just take the 5% hit? 

Im new to overclocking so like go easy onme thnx

Go to your BIOS and turn back the OC to a 4.9GHz or a 49 multiplier OC and you should get it stable at that with 100% load. My GPU runs like a champ 4.9 but struggles like mad with anything else.
