Hello guys,
I've just finished building my new PC and when I ran it for 1st time I got really high CPU temperatures. Idle - 60C, Gaming - 100C.

Specifications:
Motherboard: MSI Z270-A PRO
CPU: Intel Core i7-7700k
CPU Cooler: CoolerMaster Seidon 120 v2

Well I'm using 2 fans on the radiator and I don't know each one's job. Can you help me mount it correctly? I placed Thermal Compound as well on the CPU (Arctic MX-4)

Your voltage is good so that's not the problem.

Your case temps are high though, 45C is high.

Sounds like you need to replace that AIO with a better unit or go with a high quality air cooler like a Noctua NH U14S or NH D14, NH D15.

You will have to spend a lot on a water cooler to match that NH D15....

Like your whole budget.
