Not happy overclocked i9-11900K, Games, et, blue screen crashes!?

[Lionhart27]

Just received my overclocked i9-11900K. and Asus Z590 MB. Even though I was aware of the bad reports about this CPU, I did not think it was as bad as expected. As soon as I started playing a graphics intensive game, the Corsair H100i fans were spinning so fast I thought the PC was about to take off like a 'Rocket'! And the heat that was being pushed out the Corsair case was so hot, it felt as if a fan heater was blowing hot air in my face! MS Flightsim 2020, Forza Horizon 4, and even Paint Shop Pro caused Win10 to crash with the 'blue screen of death' reporting a serious CPU device problem. Then re-starting Win10. Experimental 'Rockets' can sometimes 'blow-up', and I thought my PC was about to! Considering this CPU was mainly marketed and to be overclocked for gamers, I think this is a total Intel failure. Regret buying it! I have now reset the CPU clocking in the Bios to Auto, and all the games, sims and apps are now stable. And besides the RTX3090 should handle most of the graphics.

Only recommend full water cooling for that, but then again I water cool everything.

You are so right, if I want to overclock this CPU, I need frosty cold water cooling. Although the Corsair H100i is water cooled, as it has a radiator, pipes et.? Clearly not cold enough for this white hot CPU! Can you recommend a model? Thanks
