Can I ask what mobo vendor? Do you know what power limits the BIOS was targeting that caused the error?

On my Asus/14900k, it was uncapping PL1/2 and I saw absurd temps and power every time anything even touched the CPU. I programmed PL1/2 to 125/253w per Intel ARK and everything normalized.

I did not do Prime95 at the insane default power limits but I suspect similar.



MOBO is MSI, setting was "cpu cooler tuning" which was set at 4096W and I had to change to 253W (the limit according to Intel)
