i9 CPU reaching 80+ C while gaming, should i be worried?

Solved by Shimejii,
240 AIO is not enough cooling for a 12900k, You may have to tune your cpu to use a bit less voltage until you get a better cooler.
Overall 80C isnt too unexpected, the 12900k is one of the hottest chips consumers can buy so its quite hard to properly cool it. Its one of the big reasons why i pretty much only recommend 12600k/12700k, and not the 12900k just due to how much hotter it gets.
