I was a little concerned about my temperatures over the last day, so I switched out my Air cooler for a 360 AIO. The CPU is still pretty okay on idle, (High 30s) decent with a few things running (low to mid 40s), but under heavy load, it's getting up to high 80s. Any suggestions on what I've done wrong? Currently have a total of 6 chassis fans + 3 on the radiator. Radiator fans are side mounted with air pulling in through the rad. Three more intake fans are mounted at the bottom, and 1 rear exhaust fan, and 2 top exhaust fans.It's also prettyloud, but I'm less worried about noise. Ideally I'd like to not have temps above 70 under load. 
 

Case: LIan Li 011 Dynamic XL
CPU: Ryzen 9 3950x
Motherboard: ROG Strix X570-E Gaming
AIO: NZXT Kraken X73
Intake Fans: Corsair LL120s
Exhaust Fans: NZXT 120s

It could be that the cooler is not getting proper contact with the cpu, make sure that thermal paste is applied properly and the cooler is screwed tight (but not too tight). 

 

Also, where are the fans plugged in? are they controlled by a fan curve? if its too loud, you should just be able to reduce the speed.
