Did I just broke my CPU?

Before I was able to stress test for 8 hours with this configuration -> https://postimg.cc/image/ehhpkin43/ and the temperature was just fine. Now it's always getting to 100C even at 1.25v . What's happening? All I did was trying 4.5gz-4.7ghz for brief moments at 1.35-1.4v, on and guide a guy was able to run it like that, so I just tried it.

What happens when you try stock settings and then do a stress test? Does it still heat up?

If so try to reapply thermal paste and try again.

it's going to 70c, it's still too much.

What's your system specs? That's what we really need first...

That being said, all things being equal, I would go into the BIOS, and load your default settings, you may have forgotten a setting here or there that is affecting your CPU. Do that, then run a stress test. Report back with your system specs too.

I just reapplied thermal paste and everything seems back to normal

thanks

Outstanding to hear. Normally most CPUs have pretty good thermal controls and if they get too hot they'll either throttle to reduce usage or turn off completely to preserve themselves. It's pretty hard to wreck a CPU.
