TLDR: I dont think my AIO is cutting it for overclocking my i9 7900x. Im getting 89C when stress testing and cine is giving me 109C @ 4.5Ghz 1.2V.
I'm thinking about maybe creating a hard tubed build. But I dont know where to start , is it even worth it? (Im going to read sticky, already started but wanted to get this post out there). Or should I just buy a stronger AIO and save the troubles? On idle @ 4.5 Im already at 57C. It makes no sense. Im currently running a Corsair H100i. Keep in mind I only have 1 fan (other than the AIO fans) and thats at the back of the case to blow out hot air.
Don't think your problem is the cooling solution yet, consider doing a delid first.
