cpu 3700x Overclock

[UnoReverseCard]

recently overclocked 3700x to 4.2ghz with a core voltage of 1.325. on prime95 the max temp i registered is 95 celcius. is this safe for continued use. using the stock cooler

95 is really hot for a CPU, especially long-term. I wouldn't keep that overclock without a better cooler.

prime 95 is pretty extreme. see what tems you get in cinebench or during gaming. if it stays below 85 it should be ok for extended use.

What test did you run in P95? Small FFTS, Large FFTs or Mixed?

95c is TJMax for a Zen 2 CPU, its the point at which the CPU starts throttling to save itself from damage. 105c and it will force the system to power down.

If you want to OC the 3700X I would suggest to get another CPU cooler. The stock cooler is fine for stock speeds but not for OC.

My 3700x came with Wraith cooler. Their is switch on the side for HIgh speed or low speed. That is kind of hot. You might be ok if you using lot task that require lot cpu for long period.
