Question 12700k is 35-42C @ idle and 100C @ 20% load ?

[PrestigeYT]

Hello,

I just built a PC and my idle temps seem a little high, and my in-game temps seem very high.

30-45c idle with chrome, and 100c constant on Squad

I maxed out Squad @ 1440p running 3 screens, only 1 for the game with nothing else open.

I have a Lian-Li 216 with Gallhan 360 AIO on a 12700k and Z690P D4. GPU is running fine (of course). All fans spinning. The exhaust output on my AIO is not exactly strong, not nearly as much as the rear exhaust, but it feels cool to the hand like the rear, just not as much air. On the Galahad 360, the left-hand power cord is plugged into AIO_HEADER, and the right-hand cord is plugged into CPU_FAN

XMP Disabled, CPU FAN 1100-1250RPM, CHA1-3 N/A, CPU OPT N/A, AIO PUMP 3206 RPM. Temps on bootup and opening google chrome, discord, and whatever else reached 80c for half, if not less than, a second. Now it is bouncing from 34c-48c. Something definitely wrong, but what? All fans are spinning...

BIOS says 49c. Opening the EA app I saw 80c. Downloading Fifa 23 it is at 70-74c. AIO PUMP Curve is set to 100% 24/7. Set CPU FAN to max, temps didn't drop after 20-30 seconds.

Installed SeriallO drivers from ASUS website, never did anything to bios though.



Thanks

Is it possible your AOI came with a piece of plastic attached to the block that you didn't remove? Is it possible you didn't tighten the block down all the way? Did you tighten the block down evenly and gradually, going diagonally from corner to corner?
