Hello
I have a i5-14600kf cpu and im using a liquid cooler msi mag 360r v2. It's top mounted but when i turn on the computer for the first time the cpu temp goes up to 100C. I have to wait a little and then I have to restart my computer 2-3 times until it goes back to normal temp otherwise when i play later the cpu temp dont get too hot.

Is it possible to be broken cooler or when i mounted it i did something wrong ?
 
Welcome to the forums, newcomer!

Please list the specs to your build like so:
CPU:
CPU cooler:
Motherboard:
Ram:
SSD/HDD:
GPU:
PSU:
Chassis:
OS:
Monitor:
include the age of the PSU apart from it's make and model. BIOS version for your motherboard at this moment of time.

When did the issue crop up since you'd purchased the AIO?

MSI's AIO's have been known to be faulty for a while. You could try and orient the AIO with the tubes exiting the bottom of the radiator, while having the radiator mounted vertically in your build. You might want to see about RMA'ing the cooler if you're within the warranty period for the AIO.

This happen just the first time when i turn on the computer, then after some pc restarts it goes back to normal temp.
 
When you turn the PC off for the day, or other extended period of time, the fluid settles in the lower area of the loop, and any air inside settles at the top of the loop... but the pump is also built into the rad on that model(little black cube).
So when you turn the PC on, you have a dry pump trying to siphon fluid. It'll have an easier time doing that when it's wet, or immersed in the fluid it's trying to cycle.

Even though there are images/vids showing these pump in rad coolers top mounted, their design works against that.
When the vast majority of users have their AIO rads installed in the roof of their cases, what was marketing thinking? 'Cause I sure as heck hope that the designers of pump in rad units knew that roof mounting wasn't a good idea.
This only gets worse as AIOs slowly lose fluid over time, through permeation at the hoses.



TL;DR: Avoid installing a pump in rad AIO in the top of your case. Try it in the front, and if that doesn't work, then do what Lutfij suggests about an RMA.
[Version 2 was supposed to resolve the early clogging issues of V1, but users can unknowingly run the pumps on either one dry.]

Thank you very much for your help i will try to mount it in the front.
