My CPU is jumping up to 92 degrees Celsius during certain games, I usually turn the game off before it gets any higher. It idles at around 28-32 degrees. I had a fan die and I replaced it with a better one and also reapplied thermal paste. At this point I am lost as to why this is happening and could really use some expertise.
 
Solution
That's not a great cooler but definitely shouldn't let a stock speed 7700k hit 100 °C

I'm guessing the pump is beginning to have an issue

So just replace the CPU Cooler and it should be fine?
