I need help, ASAP.

MSI MPG Z490 Gaming Plus Motherboard

GTX 1080 ROG

Intel i9 10850k Comet Lake

Arctic Liquid Freezer II 280

 

My CPU is hitting the high 100 degrees on a consistent basis. I’ve checked the thermal paste application, fan controls and the bios and I cannot seem to find a problem there. I got an additional 2 case fans also. I’ve been trying to find out the issue for about 24 hours and I cannot seem to find a solution to my problem. 
 

I’ve attached images of how the inside looks. I’m completely clueless and stressed, and speechless. I randomly get high 90s and 100s after going under load with a cpu that’s crazy good and cooling that’s outstanding. It makes no sense to me. I’d pay someone to solve this

Is the pump running?

Connect the pump to the pump_fan header.

Connect the radiatorfans to the CPU_fan header.

The radiator can't be topmount in the case?

So it was a volts issue, i turned off turbo boosting in my bios since by default it's on in MSI motherboards however my CPU is still pretty hot when im playing an FPS game like valorant, hitting high 70s and sometimes even 82. The water cooler that I have the arctic liquid freezer 280 only has 1 cable, and that's connected to CPU_Fan1. The radiator doesn't fit in the top of the case unfortunately so I had to put it in the side. The case fans are connected to sys_fan4 and 6

That's not the issue. When disabeling turboboost you lose 30% of cpu performance.

 

The pump always has to run at full speed. At what speed is the pump running?

 

Connect the pump to the PUMP header

Connect the radiator fans to the CPU_FAN header.

When turbo boost was on, it was overheating my CPU to about 100 degrees when launching windows

 

I also only have 1 cable for the whole fan set. It's a single PWM header.

At what rpm is the pump running?

400-550 rpm on idle

 1k plus on a stress test

That's to slow. Connect the pump to the PUMP header and let it run full speed.

Also is the radiator getting warm? It's mounted in one of the ways you shouldn't mount it in since if there's too much air in it it'll end up doing nothing.
