I have a i7-7700K and I seem to be having some thermal issues while gaming, but I don't know why. I just finished a 7h gaming session and my CPU temps are at around 100C. My cooler is an H115i and I have my computer fans running at full blast. I just wanted to know of these temperatures are normal after such a long time of gaming or if there is an issue with my cooler?. While I was installing it the cooler standoffs where crooked but they seemed fine. I am also using the pre-applied thermal paste that the cooler came with. I built my Computer last week.

Currently under 5% Load the CPU is at 45 - 50C and the cooler is at 32.3C. And this is the first time I noticed this temperature. It might have spiked to this before but I didn't notice. The only temps I remember seeing were between 65-95 while playing games like Ark, PUBG, Wolfenstein.

I re-installed everything and it all looks good. But I'm getting similar temperatures.
