[SOLVED] H115i Platinum RGB overheating

[Rantz]

Hey guys , I'm not sure where to ask this but I'll give it a try.
I recently got a new rig with the i7-9700k and on it i've installed the h115i RGB platinum.
Now just to test it i've ran p95 on stock speeds with the settings on icue at balanced and some of cthe cores hot up to around 100 while others stay at the 90's.
Is this normal for stock speeds?
I think this temps are quite high for stock speeds and this AIO.
Any opinions will be appreciated.

Something's definitely wrong. I would reseat the cooler on your CPU and reapply thermal paste during. I'd run Prime95 at stock frequencies again. Are you sure all fans are hooked up and functional?

Yea all of the fans are spinning.
I'll give it a try , thanks.

To be clear, we're talking about 90 degrees Celcius right? If so, then stop stress testing when it goes up that high.

Yep , Celcius.
I'll go buy thermal paste and re apply and post back the results.

P95 does load the CPU a great deal, but how about at idle? Does the CPU temps drop immediately back to 30s Celsius or so when it goes back to a non-usage state, or does the temp continue to stay high or worse yet, climb while the CPU is idle before being used?

While the pump is running, tap on it and on the tubing. Maybe even give the case a bit of a shake. Often times AIOs are not 100% filled with coolant which is why you can hear a bit of sloshing if you shake a cooler before installing it. If an air bubble makes it to the pump or blocks the pump, it cannot 'pump' air, meaning there's an airlock. Usually a bit of the above can help dislodge it and move it back to the radiator where it will just act like a bit of an insulator, but better there than lodged in your pump causing the impeller to hopelessly not-move-coolant.
