Hey guys. So I've had this issue for a while now I just haven't really thought about asking anyone until now. I'm running a Ryzen 9 5900x in a fairly open case. I have some pretty good fans setup I believe and it just always seems that my CPU runs hot. Sometimes at idle I'm sitting around 85 degrees Celsius. Sometimes when gaming I get a high temp warning that my CPU reached 100 degrees Celsius. I know this is pretty hot and I'm not sure why it's getting this hot. Do I need a better cooler? I'm using a Corsair H100I Elite Capellix that's top mounted with 2 fans. I just don't know why it always runs so hot and for the longevity of my PC I want to stop this issue as soon as I can. Thank you. My top mounted AIO fans are set to exhaust.

Clean your case and use good quality thermal paste like Thermal Grizzly Krynaut.

After all, check your water cooling systems pipes and look there is a leak or pipes are damaged.
