so my corsair hydro h110i aio is 3+years old maybe even 4+ icant recall but basically my i9 9900k idle temps are 44-54c and under gaming loads like need for speed shift or battlefield v its hitting 88-98c which is scary. ive just ordered a NZXT kraken x63 do you think that with solve the cooling issue? also i have all cores at 5ghz.
 
Solution
CASE: antec p110
the vents in the sides of the front panel will offer pretty decent airflow if you have high airflow fans in place. my previous Dark Base 700 & my current Vector RS have a similar design but have never had issues with temperatures.

remove the dock from the front-top slot,
and add 3x good fans to the front panel.
some to consider:
be quiet! Silent Wings 3
Noctua NF-A4 iPPC

and make sure the cover is removed from the top vents where the radiator is mounted.
if this is in place barely any CPU heat will be exhausted.

Couldn't say.
-don't know what the gpu is.
-don't know what the chassis is and fan/radiator setup.
-don't know how you OC'ed the cpu, or the settings that were changed from the original.

Older reviews have shown me that a 240mm AIO isn't adequate for an OC'ed 9900K...

I know BFV does make use of AVX, which is going to work the cpu harder than one would normally see in most other titles. I've not seen/heard anything about NFS: Shift with AVX though.

sorry so the setup is,

GPU: rtx 2080ti rog strix
CPU: i9 9900k oc'd via bios advanced profile
MBD: gigabyte z390 aorus master
RAM: 2x8gb 3600mhz cl18
CASE: antec p110 midi tower

so the oc option is in the bios that utilizes the 5ghz on all cores.

have you actually done any troubleshooting before just ordering the new cooler?

you never stated if your temperatures have increased over time or have always been this way.

you also still don't mention what type of system-wide cooling you have in place;
case fans, their placement, and their orientation.
radiator placement and fan orientation.
and fan speed curves in place.
the oc option is in the bios that utilizes the 5ghz on all cores.
these older "auto-overclock" options in the BIOS usually tend to use insane amounts of voltage.
it's more than likely this large voltage increase that is causing such high temperatures.

right yeah so over time the temperature has increased a decent amount i couldnt say how much but i have re-applied thermal paste and turned oc off and still with oc off the temps maybe drop by 10c.
 
and yes i have done lots are searching around for issues and solutions but i think the most common thing was that my aio was old and out dated for this type of cpu power, the main aio recommended was the x63 kraken as i heard this was a very good option anyways.
 
so this max temp while playing apex legends lowest graphics for about 25mins, at a 190fps cap in game. it wont let me show results but the max temp was 91c and min was 44c but that was idle on desktop.
 
a radiator alone can't cool the CPU and other component's can add to the internal ambient temperature that will increase over time without adequate system-wide cooling and will in turn lead to higher overall temperatures.

you avoiding the questions about your fan setup and case airflow would lead me to believe it has inadequate cooling overall.
 
Yeah, auto OC options are convenient, but they do command higher operating temperatures and power loads.
Compared to doing it manually, which takes time as well as trial and error, but lower operating temperatures and power use can be achieved.

it wont let me show results
It, as in this site? Then use one of the following:

Idle temperatures are a reflection of chassis airflow and system power consumption.
 
i have 1x120mm fan on front of case and 1x120mm on back of case, i know i need more fans on the front for sure because thats my intake area where the pc brings in cool air thne pumped out of the back and top. my gpu runs as anywhere between 34-60c

Antec p110, right?
Yes, you do need more than 2 fans, but adding more in the front won't be all that productive - at least, compared to adding 2 top exhausts.
There's quite a bit of restriction at the front. The rear and top are more open, so it's going to be more effective to have fans there as exhaust.

so i have my aio mounted at the top, the setup goes fans then radiator then the case so the fans are on the inside. and where and how would i mount more fans at the back. thanks for all this btw i appreciate it alot.
 
? You can't put more fans at the back if there's already one there... something got lost in transition here.

Add fans at the top, and run them as exhaust just like the rear fan.
It's going to be more effective than adding front intake fans because of the degree of obstacles your Antec P110 presents at the front.
Also remove the auto OC, at least until things are down to more acceptable levels.

my fans at the top are already set as exhausts and the pump is running at 2000rpm i think it said and fans 700.
