Why is my cpu so hot?

Hey everyone, I attached my Prime95 small FFTs results while on 4.1 GHz 1,15 Volts and my CPU temps reached 101 degrees then I immediately restarted the PC so that my CPU doesn't get damaged. But I did not understand why I got such high temperatures on 1,15 Volts I mean yeah the Wraith Stealth is bad but I think this is abnormal. Is there an issue with my CPU or something? Could anyone help? Thanks.

What cpu exactly?

Only use hwinfo64 for ryzen temps monitoring and check temps. 

If they are 101C check temps while doing your normal workload since prime 95 is not a load a cpu would encounter on a daily basis. If temps are normal under your not normal workload, I wouldn't worry about the prime 95 results. 

If they are still high, re seat the cooler and re apply thermal paste, also Ambient temps? And remove the side panel and check temps. 

PC: Motherboard: ASUS B550M TUF-Plus, CPU: Ryzen 3 3100, CPU Cooler: Arctic Freezer 34, GPU: GIGABYTE WindForce GTX1650S, RAM: HyperX Fury RGB 2x8GB 3200 CL16, Case, CoolerMaster MB311L ARGB, Boot Drive: 250GB MX500, Game Drive: WD Blue 1TB 7200RPM HDD.

I didn't check gaming temps yet just Prime95. My CPU is R5 3600 how can I check if the OC is stable without getting such high tenps?

Try cinebench r20 and check, (though not as much as a stress test as prime 95). 

Also check temps under your normal load and check.

Alright, Thanks and also is it safe and possible to use R5 3600 at 1,15 V and 4.1 GHz?

Let it run at stock speeds and undervolt if you want. Overclocking with a manual multiplier on the stock cooler is a no-go.

Why though? When I leave everything at auto with Core Performance Boost disabled it runs at 1.03V 3.6 GHz. 1.03 V and 1.15V aren't that different but at 1.15 I can achieve 4.1 GHz still a no-go?

Thermal paste?

                          Ryzen 5800X3D(Because who doesn't like a phat stack of cache?) GPU - 7700Xt

                                                           X470 Strix f gaming, 32GB Corsair vengeance, WD Blue 500GB NVME-WD Blue2TB HDD, 700watts EVGA Br

 ~Extra L3 cache is exciting, every time you load up a new game or program you never know what your going to get, will it perform like a 5700x or are we beating the 14900k today? 😅~

Just making sure 😊 sometimes people forget,plus sometimes they put little piece of plastic on top of the stock paste to protect it

If your CPU "actually" running at 4.1GHz. The Cinebench R20 score should be around 3700.

Also, I am overclocking from Ryzen Master not Bios and Ryzen Master has this feature where when you apply the OC it also tests it. Will the test of Ryzen Master be enough to be sure its stable? or is Cinebench R20 or something must?

The Ryzen Master stress test. Forget it. Run OCCT or AIDA64 instead.

Is AIDA64 as heavy as Prime? I don't want my cpu to go 100 degrees again?

I don't use any program that put so much load on a CPU like Prime 95. So I haven't use it since Intel Haswel day. AIDA 64 and OCCT are much closer to what I actually use daily, like Blender. I get low 80C with stock cooler when stress test with OCCT small file size. CPU with default settings.

Download and run Prime95 26.6. That one doesn't have AVX and while it's still unrealistic, it's at least not stupidly unrealistic.
