WHEA Warning?

I just noticed a whea warning in my event log stating a hardware error was corrected and it was reported by a cpu core. the error type was a cache hierarchy error. i know OCing can cause some of these whea errors, and it seems most people just ignore them, but im just wondering if this one is anything to worry about. my processor is overclocked, but i can pass numerous stress tests for hours,  without any issues or errors in the even log. i think the pc my have even been idle at the time this was reported. But again usually there are no errors regardless of what the pc is doing.
anyway, i was just wondering if anyone had some info on this error since googling it comes up with a bunch of different whea errors and no real explanation other than ocing can cause them.

Computer is:
8700K stock, MTE on, 4700mhz auto clock
Asus Z370 Pro Gaming
16GB DDR 3000MHZ ( XMP ON)
Gtx 1080 Ti Aorus
Corsair 750 Rmi
SSD Crucial 525GB
HDD TOSHIBA 500GB
Windows 10 clean install 1709 Creator Fall Update ( 16299.15 build october 2017 ,before meltdown/spectre patch )
All settings in UEFI are stock,defaulted . Only XMP profile is on.

One bad thing about the screenshot is that I cannot understand a thing of what's written there but, now back to the hardware part. As long as your CPU could stay 'stresses' for long periods of time without any kind of crash then you should be just fine.

Honestly, I agree with R3ep3r here as to the illegibility of the screenshot. But that aside, if when you experience the WHEA error in terms of a blue screen followed by something like 'uncorrectable error' then it wouldn't hurt to bump up you Vcore a bit. (0.005+). Aside from that you can use Memtest86. Typically a WHEA error is because of the CPU or memory.

 

Fair warning- stress tests aren't an accurate representation of true stability. You can run Prime95 24/7 for a week straight and yet jump into a game and crash within the first round of playing.

 

:D
