Question 12900k running really hot 98 to 100c (brand new build)

[_EZsimple_]

I have a i9 12900k on an Asus ROG strix 690-e and a 3080ti (this is my first build) and I’m running what I feel is way to hot in game it’s at 98 to 100C

Case: Nzxt H9 Elite
CPU: 12900k
Mobo: Asus Strix 690-E
AIO: Deep cool LT720
GPU: Gygebyte 3080 ti OC
PSU: nzxt 1000 gold+

( Brand new )
On windows 11

Fans draw in from bottom push out top and back with a single fan. I have AIO radiator standing on the side pushing through radiator out the side. ( don’t have pull fans on the back side of radiator)

CPU is what I feel running way to hot and in game at an idle at desktop temps are at around 30 to 35c but in game it will be running at around 98 to 100 c even if I’m just standing still (cyberpunk 2077) if I tab into in game menu temps will drop but in game it’s still running that high no matter what is happening this is my first build so I’m honestly learning. had a friend help me with the build. I have been trying to learn as much as I can, but I’m feeling kinda stuck due to he is telling me that it’s fine they can run that hot and it will throttle if they need to but I don’t feel that it should be running that hot especially if Im not even moving on screen

Been trying to see how:if I can adjust in BIOS and intel advanced but I’m new so it’s alittle intimidating
Watched jay 2 cents on what he was doing with the same CPU but was told that I’m over thinking it and it is fine (Help)

That is quite warm for gaming. Wouldn't even expect that temperature with a 360mm AIO under benchmark conditions.

Either the cooler is not properly mounted or your CPU is pulling way too much voltage. (It is possible you have overtightened the CPU cooler as well, which is known to bend LGA1700 boards, if you can take a look at your motherboard from the side with the cooler mounted you don't want to see a severe bend in the board)

Often the default maximum stability and operability settings that motherboard manufacturers send out are overly aggressive. Some of Jayz undervolting videos should be a good place to start.

I will look into that and report back

I second this, not to mention props for OP for including model of PSU in original post as the vast majority of new users don't.
