Question Cpu temp abnormally high running games.

[Crustyarrogance]

hey i recently bought a whole new computer because my old one was having overheating issues, only thing that carried over was the m.2. Almost every game overtime gets the cpu nice and toasty. I got a AIO pointed out the rear of the pc case (pump obviously working because rad also gets nice and toasty, plus i can feel it in the tubes.
Temps get fairly high, like around 115-120C ( might even go higher but i usually shut the game down because i fear for the pc).
Idle temps can be anywhere from 28-40c ( all normal there)
Specs:
asrock z490
intel i9 10900k
2 8gb corsair veng pro
gigabyte rtx 3070
samsung ssd 970 evo plus 1tb

https://ibb.co/5kMR6c7 <- quick hwmonitor of the temps cant figure out how to picture because I have the dumb, not the worst they've gotten but this is literally 20 minutes in walking around in Elden ring at 1080p
if you need anymore information ill happily give it to you, as I'm pretty new to this asking for help thing.

How old is your AIO? I have heard of cooling liquid getting contaminated over time!

Looked at your temps, Like Your AIO is defiantly not working right ! Do you have an air cooler you can try?

120mm Radiator has absolutely no chance of cooling a 10900K.
Nothing else to even say.

Hm? Is it 120 mm AIO? And how do you think it is supposed to cool down such heat monster as 10900k? You need a real cooler, not something that looks pretty.

Depends on the case you have but at the least a 280mm rad cooler.
EDIT D15 for a air cooler if it will fit and clear the memory.

how would you feel about a: https://www.amazon.ca/gp/product/B08G1Q3GZR/ref=ppx_yo_dt_b_asin_title_o00_s00?ie=UTF8&psc=1
icue h150i as it would fit top case easily, loads of room.
or do you feel like a air cooler would perform better?

btw thanks for the help, much appreciated

Corsair H150i will do fine.
