Hey everyone! I'm new to building PCs and was advised to run some stress tests to ensure everything's working properly. My current PC specs can be found here: https://pcpartpicker.com/list/tGzrkf. After running the Cinebench 2024 test, I scored 1297 points on the multi-core test, but my CPU temperature peaked at 92°C. I'm also currently running a PRIME95 test, and the temperature has been hovering around 95°C after about 5 to 10 minutes of load. I haven't made any adjustments like undervolting or overclocking. Are these scores typical for an unmodified setup? Should I be concerned about the high temperatures? Thanks for any insights!

Those temps are on the lower end of normal for a stress test, but hitting 92°C might be a bit worrisome. You could start seeing some throttling at that point. It might be a good idea to check your CPU clock speeds during the tests to see if they're stable and not dropping due to heat.
I don't really get all that. My Infinity Fabric clock was at 1798.8 MHz, memory controller at 2395.7 MHz, and L3 clock was 5195.5 MHz, with a frequency limit of 5250 MHz. HWINFO said there were no throttle reasons. Should I be worried? I'm not a heavy PC user.
