Hello everyone , i overclocked my i7 8700k from 3.70 to 4.99 ghz with 1.424 V

i have been getting 40 to 50 Degrees while i browse and watch Videos and when im playing i get like from 60 to 72 sometimes it Spikes to 80 but very briefly i have 2 front fans 1 on top and a thermaltake water 3.0 my AIO PUMP is running at 1448 rpm Cpu fan at 1778 rmp and the others at 1072

is it ok how everything is or should i be concerned?
im kinda of a noob when it gets to this Kind of stuff


I took These prints while i was playing

Little bit toasty. Usually I like to keep it max 85 just as a rule of thumb. Technically 90 should be fine but if you had the system under a stress test load or played during a 40 degree C day you could shoot higher. Which is pretty high considering the max is 105deg.C. So for longevity sake I would back off the clocks or voltage a little.
Are you able to go with less voltage?

Also what are your LLC settings? Load Line Calibration basically counteracts voltage drop you get when the CPU is under load. By applying a little more voltage at idle so it is your value under full load.
I would go into the bios and start with some low levels of LLC and watch core voltages meet your minimum desired voltage under load to keep it stable.
e.g. in my system desired voltage is 1.2V, but to get that under load. At idle voltage is 1.216V.

I've noticed in your screenshots that your Voltage at max reaches 1.498v which is very high, I would definitely tone it down if you're looking to use it to play games.

As for cooling, Would just run the pump 100% all the time as they're usually not noisy.
