AIO too small?

Hey, so, I've just recently built  my first custom system and am noticing something strange with my CPU temps.  I have an i9-10900k with an MSI MAG liquid cooler 240r and I'm finding that with no overclock and multicore enhancements turned off I can't run cinebench more than twice without thermal throttleling.  So, is a 240 AIO not enough for stock temps on an i9-10900k? I did notice that Anthony used a 360 MSI cooler for an i9-10850k in the latest video, but I can't see that being the problem, so I figured I'd ask people who know better then me.

Interestingly enough.  MSI doesn't recommend this cooler for the 10900k.

Oh, I guess I should have done just a little more research into that first. Thanks, I guess I'm gonna upgrade that then.
