Hi as the title says the PC is overheating occasionally, the CPU shoots up to 90c+ when trying to play any title game. Just idling it sits at about 55c and when have multiple chrome tabs open for work it goes to about 65-70c, add in an Oldschool Runescape client and it wants to shoot to 80c+ occasionally will overheat there too and reach 100c. This is my first build, I am not too well versed on where to look for problems and I would appreciate any help trying to figure out what is wrong. AIO pump feels like it is working all fans are working properly in my case. AIO is also overhead mounted in case (was careful to make sure any air bubbles stayed in radiator. Assuming this could be a voltage problem, I am not sure.

Edit- Slow day of work, I am going to take off the front glass panel to see if this helps any with temps.

Not seeing any obvious cause from your specs. Did the AIO come with pre-applied thermal paste or did you add your own? Also, if the cold plate had a plastic sticker on it, make sure you removed that. May seem silly, but even Linus has messed that up before.

I applied my own thermal paste. I have reapplied about 5 times now to trouble shoot it being my thermal paste. I did take the sticker off.  Is there something else I can post to help with any problem solving?
