Your CPU cooler is way under powered for that CPU. The Pure Rock Slim is a 120W TDP cooler https://www.bequiet.com/en/cpucooler/688 and the 9700K can pull more than that. In essence a 120W TDP cooler will keep a CPU around 90-100C when pulling 120W. If you go to a Be Quiet Shadow Rock 3 your cooler will move up to 190W TDP and reduce your temps. That would be the BARE minimum I would use on the 9700K. Going with the Dark Rock Pro 4 will get your a 250W TDP and give nice headroom for you.
