What is your LLC settings? I'd install HWmonitor
https://www.cpuid.com/softwares/hwmonitor.html
and watch Core voltages under load and idle for Load line calibration.
Also a single 120mm may not cut it for overclocking, had an i5 that hit 100deg.C at stock clocks ;) I'd go to say 240mm or 280mm to keep it under, but for now you just run the pump and fans 100%?
If you're able to hit 5Ghz at 1.31v you have a good chip.
