This is one of those custom loop prebuilts? If you don't know anything about custom loop, I take it you're going to pay someone to clean/flush/refill the loop every year? [If using pastel coolants, it'll need to be done even more frequently.]

my cpu is in high 90c

Which cores are doing that, exactly?

Hey there,

Whilst your CPU can run at those high temps, ideally you want it in the 65-75c range for standard gaming use. That your temps are so high, kinda push towards an issue with the loop, or bad placement of cooler (perhaps the screws aren't tight enough).

Given you have it two days, I'd send it right back for replacement/diagnosis, unless you are happy to check it yourself. Given it's a custom build you may void warranty if you attempt to fix this problem yourself.

I wouldn't bother. As said above, you may void your warranty. Just take it back and have them check it out. They'll sort it and you have no worries.
