    MCE on?

    Why are you ‘scared’? Once hitting 100 the CPU will just throttle and reduce turbo clocks to a sustainable level, if you want a score, leave it for 10 minutes.

    As for 240mm, they’re usually not enough for such CPUs, I would consider 280mm the bear minimum if you are constantly under heavy load, a top notch thermal paste like Kryonaut also helps but if you plan to game, you’ll be fine with a 240 or an air cooler.
