I've been trying to overclock my 1600x, but it never seems to thermal throttle. Even with stock multipliers and voltage the instant it reaches 94 degrees, the computer cuts its own power. Nothing is ever damaged, though windows sometimes mentions not being shut down properly.
I thought Ryzen is supposed to throttle and death at 94 degrees is making overclocking time consuming (node 202 build, working on cooling). Is this behavior normal?

 

Notes: overclocking with Ryzen Master, monitoring with Core Temp, stressing with cinebench
Mobo: AB350N-Gaming WiFi

well getting ur chip that hot to the degree where it shuts itself down to prevent damage, means an uneven cpu cooler mount kinda, because that shouldnt even happen on a stock cooler

 

so no its not normal

 

u should even be able to run prime95 small fft's easily... cinebench isnt even CLOSE to prime95 small fft's temp

 

also if ur overclocking on a stock cooler then its quite normal u get those temps xD, u need an aftermarket/custom cooler for overclocking really

Using Cryorig's C7, which has a 100W TDP. The 1600x has a TDP of 95W, so it should work in ideal conditions, but the Node 202 has notoriously limited airflow. It's the best air cooler I could fit.

Its possible that its actually just crashing because of that.  One time my pump didnt run and windows booted and then just cut power because the CPU could cool itself.

Sometimes if I boot immediately after a heat crash it dies in a few seconds, so could be that
