My new i7 9700K runs extremely hot (90 - 100 degrees) under 40-50% load. I was wondering if this is abnormal or not. I know that the intel stock cooler is bad, but are these normal temps for the stock cooler. Furthermore, I am looking to change my stock cooler to a new CPU cooler, but I do not know which ones are good for i7 9700K. I would also prefer if the color of the cooler is white. My budget is around $50 and I really do not want to go over that.
I recently just got a new CPU and upgraded from an i5 9400f to an i7 9700k. Since I got it today, I have kept the stock intel cooler for both of them and played one game of VALORANT and my CPU began to get super hot, even when I capped the fps at 144. It ran up to around 97 degrees as I was also streaming on discord which took up some CPU usage.
My specs are
I was looking into the Hyper 212 EVO, the Scythe Big Shuriken 3 CPU Air Cooler, or the Scythe Mugen 5. Are any of these any good / will keep temps low? Or should I look for others.
Thanks in advance for any help that you guys have given me. If you need anymore information, just ask.
