So i had a broblem with my processor. It was that my prosessor was overheating when in normal clocks with every cooler I tested. I tested the basic cooler and a homemade one and a thermal take contac 21. It was running at 98c (200f). So now I have a water cooler and it’s still running a bit hot on 4,7 ghz. It’s running at about 80c (175-180f). I read that this is not normal for the cooler I have (coolermaster masterliquid 240). The tdp of that cooler is 210w. Other parts include 10gb of ram, 1050ti and a 550vs power supply!

Be really, really careful. If you've OC'd without changing the Vcore, then you're going to be drawing a lot of voltage through your CPU. That's likely why your temps are so high. Your idles are low because your CPU is probably speed-stepping, but when you load it, it'll be demanding a lot of voltage. A 4.5 GHz setting could be getting close to the max limit at those temps.

First of all, you are saying the CPU ran how at stock speeds, and then jumped to overclocked temps.

10GB of RAM is also a strange amount, must be a mix of smaller sticks.

How are you overclocking? What is your ambient room temperature? The stock Intel processor shouldn't have caused temps of 100C, especially at default clock speeds.
