Question Intel® Core™ i7-13700KF Crashing games

[Repixreal]

Most modern AAA games will randomly shut down whenever I play.. And this is a brand new pre-built I bought from a well respected company here in Denmark.
I asked them what to do about the 100 Degrees it was reaching, but one of the lead guys told me that it was totally normal.. But it doesn't seem normal if the games keep closing!
I turned on Asus Enhancement 3.0 with a 90 Degree limiter in hopes that would help.. But it doesn't seem to do jack.. Games still close..


DURING CINEBENCH:

DURING IDLE:

What do I do?! This is frustrating, as my old computer that was far worse never did any of this.. I paid a lot of money for this "UPGRADE" So I'm a little pissed, especially considering I'm not a hardware guy.

the low temp is high too. doesn't look like the cooler is working right.
is the cpu fan spinning?

I forgot to say I was using Cinebench in that picture of my temps! I know.. Kind of a big deal not to mention, my bad :O

This is while playing Red Dead 2

I set it to reach max 90C but it still manages to hit 96C+

I smell some funny business.

If that's a 13700K running Cinebench in the first screenshot... the package power is maxing at 132w, instead of ~253w or more!
It's expected for this cpu to run hot in Cinebench, but that's from drawing way more than 132w...

Return the prebuilt; this isn't for you to be fixing.

I noticed you said K rather than KF. This is not me being snide, I'm just curious if they're sharing the same specs?

Yes. The only difference is that the iGPU is disabled or shaved off.
