At idle my CPU is 35C having no problem.
When under load it start to go to 90 or higher.

My specs are:
1080Ti strix
32gb (4x8) crucial ballistic 3000mhz
i7 7700k with Dark rock 3 pro
Asus STRIX Z270E GAMING
1350 watt psu.

I checked and changed cooling paste already to make sure there was nothing wrong but it doesn't seem to help.

I play cod:wz on max settings 2k 90fps with raytracing on and it hits 90/100.
Is this ok because I dont know what to do now.
