You need high performance cooler for this CPU + thermal grease between heatsink and CPU's heatspreader. You can check in BIOS (Health Status) actual temperature of your CPU.

If CPU restarts maybe it is damaged (overheated in the past) ? Or can be to weak power supply or your motherboard simply do not supprt it. You have to give us more details.
