hi , first of all im new in overclocking and stress testing . Secondly I'd like to know if its normal that cpu/cpu package to be at 100c for the whole duration i have set?! .
P.s : If it helps I have starforge voyager elite 2 , and set the cpu fan profile to MSI ultimate and cpu core to be 5.7 GHzhttps://starforgesystems.com/products/voyager-ii-elite

What CPU, CPU Cooler are you running? Some info goes a long ways.
But No it’s not normal.
Yeah, it’s sort of normal that things get a bit crazy in stress tests. Those 100°C sound suspiciously like the speed where the CPU will start limiting its boost speeds. You can have a situation where when you improve your cooling, the temperature doesn’t go down because the CPU will just increase speed and boost higher and you’ll end up back at the same 100°C.
To decide if your cooling is working well, you have to look at the power usage numbers, not just the temperature. Those 100°C are bad if the power usage is low, but if the power usage is very high, then the 100°C are normal.
5.7 All core is around 320 Watts on a 14900ks with better vids so you need to set a power limit or get a better cooler.
