i have my cpu overclocked to 4.8ghz at 1.255v and if i go below 1.225v its not stable  the problem is its fine gaming at 4.8ghz but on prime 95 its stable but its power limit throttles and the clocks drop how do i fix this ive spent over 7 hours trying to fix this but it throts on p95 avx so  the max temp ive seen b4 throt is 73c on p95 so is this safe to use for gaming ?

its was power limit throttling that lit up in xtu and then the clock would go down so is it just a cpu temp issue ive  try avx offset no diff

try setting the power limit to the cpu to max.

Do the benchmark then 

It will boost for a lot higher with pl2 so when it clocks don't worry about that.

all i want to know will it be fine for gaming thats all i rlly use it for ?

i ran a cinebench r20 benchmark at 4.8ghz -1 avx 1.255v max temp was 72c

no power limit throttle so is this fine for gaming max temp while gaming was 63c but still throttles on p95 ?

Could be PL2 

Either way If it's fine for your normal workload don't worry about it.
