Are you still there? Can I ask what's the average temperature I should have when overloading, since I plan to visit the same shop tomorrow to ask for a warranty, I loaded up my pc and my temperature is already around 40-50* that isn't normal for sure so I'll go check if it's just a faulty cooler
Under load you should ideally never exceed 90 degrees Celcius and you absolutely do not want to go above 100. 50 degrees idle is normal for an air cooler but for a water cooler that's suspicious.

On an i7-12700K with an ARCTIC Liquid Freezer II 240 my idle temps with Firefox open are only 30 degrees Celcius. I've also overclocked. That's a hotter chip than your i5, you shouldn't be reaching 50 and you definitely shouldn't be reaching the processor's Tjmax with only 40% usage playing Valorant.

Just on microsoft edge and my place is AC on, I'm reaching 45-50 temps
 
I'm back with news, I'm using my intel stock cooler right now and my temperature isn't reaching 100, It's likely the AIO's fault having it warranty replaced right now thanks for the responses guys
