Question New Rig with Ryzen 7900X is hitting low 90s just with casual use ?

New rig with 7900X and a NZXT Kraken Z63. This is my first time using an AIO and I just used the thermal paste that was pre-applied to the pump. I'm not sure what my issue is but temps are hitting in the 90s just browsing the web and having the Xbox app download in the background. Im using a 7 fan setup, 3 on top pushing air out, 2 on bottom pulling it in, one on back pushing it out. Entire setup is in the PartPicker link above.

That just shows that it reached 90...at some point... your temps are from 25 to 90 which are all normal, it could just have reached 90 momentarily during boot up when everything tries to run at the same time.
If at idle you stay between 30 and 40 as you are currently in that pic then everything is fine.

Yeah, looks like it hit 90 on one core some time doung something. That happens. Try to run something demanding like Cinebench and see how it goes. If your score is around what is expected of the CPU, you are good. Worst case the system shuts down from overheating before anything gets damaged. But I don't think that will happen.

It looks like Ryzen 7000 processors continue with Zen's aggressive boost behaviour with light, bursty workloads. They're also expected and designed to run up around 95C when pushed so there's nothing to worry about it as it seems pretty normal.

Better cooling only helps but don't be surprised if it still hits 90C+ as it's designed to work that way.

You might have bad seating, try re-mounting the CPU cooler and see if the problem persists.
