I just built a new system and whenever I boot it up it goes immediately to 100C then my AIO gets it down to the 60s idling. Playing nay cpu intensive game puts it right back in the 90s. I'm using default bios settings of my i7-10700k and Asus Tuf z490-plus mobo. I've got an H100i v2 on there for cooling but ordered the newer model in case it's that. But since it seems to get the temps down after boot it must be doing something right right? What could be happening? I've remounted my AIO several times to triple check it's tightly secured and the thermal paste is evenly spread. I can garauntee my thermal paste isn't the issue and my AIO is as secure as possible. Only thing I can think of with that is my H100Iv2 is older and maybe doesn't perfectly fit a 1200 socket but it does bring that 100C down to 60 after it turns on so it seems to work at least some.
