My CPU temp seems too high

[Wolftickets]

is my CPU temp too high? this is after playing GTA V at max settings for about 30 mins. My cooler is 550LC 120MM WATERCOOLER. No OC.

I7 7700k 4.2
GTX1060 6 gig
16 gig ram

95c is still below max temp, but it's very close and I would advise finding a way to bring it down at least a little.

Put your hand on your cooler's radiator when it's that hot - is the radiator hot? That would suggest your cooler is inadequate, and you might upgrade to something like a Cryorig H7. If it isn't hot, that would suggest the heat isn't transferring effectively from your CPU into the waterblock, in which case you might choose to remount it with fresh thermal paste.

90C + max temps are a little concerning. What cooler are you using?

If you can get core voltage to display, that would be good to know.

I havent OC so the voltage is set to AUTO in BIOS. According to the pic i posted my max voltage got to 1.297

How warm is the radiator itself, when you put your hand on it?

so I fixed it by turning off XMP in bios. I cant believe just having my RAM run a bit faster makes my CPU 10 degrees hotter. I wish there was another way to get my RAM to what it should be. Without XMP its dual channel @ 1066 Mhz, with XMP it was 1500 Mhz.
