I recently upgraded my PC to an i9-12900KS and I tried two different liquid coolers on it, but with both of them (the former being a 240mm with 2 fans and the second a 360mm with 3 fans), the CPU spikes to over 90 degrees under full 100% load.
With the 240mm AIO, it spikes straight to 100 degrees in a second, with the 360mm one, it spikes to about 95-97 but never reaches 100.
At this point I don't know anymore what to try to further improve the cooling of this CPU... Furthermore, XTU doesn't show that it's thermal throttling since I switched to this 360mm AIO, but it does show a constant current/EDP throttling and idk how to solve that.
Since I dual boot Linux and Windows, I checked and the temperatures are a tiny bit better on Arch and Garuda, with the highest spike of 95 degrees, not a huge difference than Windows 11 anyway.
