CPU at 100 degrees on bios with normal amount of voltage

Hello, so I was playing CS:GO because I play it when I am bored and I could hear my CPU fan going full speed and I checked CAM because I have an NZXT Kraken water cooler and it said that my CPU degrees were at 100 degrees. When I closed all my applications and restarted my computer then went to the bios it said that my CPU is at 100 degrees and would not drop lower. I went to check my voltage to see if the motherboard VRMS are giving more voltage then is needed but it was only giving 888+ Vcore voltage on MSI bios. Does anyone know what to do I have checked my pump to see if it would be working and when I touched it was vibrating so I think that it is working? My motherboard is an MSI b250m gaming pro and my CPU is an Intel Core i7 7700. The room that I am in is very cool because I have a fan and my computer never collects dust because the room that I am in is very clean and I always clean my computer anyway.

Hmmm, what?

 

Check in CPU spec what are standard voltages and set them manually, especially on MSI motherboard.

And check your CPU cooler.

I put it on auto and the voltage is now at 1.016v and is what the recommended voltage for a 7700 from what I researched. The temp is rising because I restarted the computer. I am touching the pump but it is vibrating lightly does that mean it is on or not? Could it be a thermal paste problem and it needs to be re applied.

Thermal paste is really cheap most places and generally unless you get a top notch thermal paste, it all performs roughly the same. It likely wouldn't make the situation worse if the thermal paste wasn't the issue. Worst case scenario, you apply new thermal paste and you are backed where you started.
