13600k cooling

[JRC037]

Hi everyone!

So I've been having some cooling issues with my Intel 13600k, I'm easily hitting above 90C in games, not all tho. Most are in the mid 80s. I've got an NHD15 and have reseated it, making sure to have good coverage of the paste and pressure. The ambient temp in my room is 19-22C depending on the temp we set of the cooling now that it's winter here. That being said my ambient temps are good, I think lol, between 37-45C. Any suggestions on whats wrong? Maybe fans are not set correctly? or maybe the cooler has a defect, I'm kinda lost right now. Thanks in advance for any help

I am always going to recommend a contact frame if you're using an air cooler where every square millimeter that you can cover counts, I got my 12700K to 230W sustained with a beQuiet Dark Rock Pro 4 when I mounted the TG contact frame versus ~185W in the normal ILM
