14900K hitting 100c

[Amer]

I have a 14900k and a Z790 Asus Maximus Hero board. I changed the power limits to Intels default/recommended 360/253/253 and enforcing all limits on asus multicore enhancment yet I'm still hitting 100c. I only decided to mess with this because my overwatch always crashes, every other game is fine it's just ow.

Not much to say without knowing anything about the rest of the system, especially the cooler.

100%!
Also maybe show pic of the case so we can see if it has enough  flow.
Thermal compound matters too. As well as exhaust direction of the fans even.

So post your specs, as many as you can.
Clearly WE NEED IT!

Hell, even room temprature matters. (we dont need to know tho if you can live there its between 20C-30C so. )

gets enough airflow

Is the pump plugged into the pump header on the board or another dedicated port to supply power/PWM signals so the pump runs at 100% speed the entire time or are you on a PWM header that's not adjusting the speed of the pump properly?

Is 100C only hit in one game or all games?

This, and just make sure the pump is running at all.

Yes airflow not an issue most likely.
Also kudos for that cat tax!

Pump is fine, automatically increases/decreases fan speed depending on cpu temp.

Pump is more than fine, I think it's something to do with the motherboard settings for the CPU...

How old is the thermal compound? It might have given up if 3-5 years or older. (if not ignore this message. )

You say you use defaults, did you reset your BIOS to its defaults too?
Might work but would need to change any custom settings back after.

Default Asus motherboard settings is really bad, it's not intel cpu default settings. Asus's default settings causes PC to bsod or not have games load at all.

That cat greatly contributes to the case's airflow.

perhaps the defaults are just bad, might be the MB, also how's your BIOS version?

Bios is on latest update

hmm, then if you're exhausting ideas, you could try to see if there is an older bios version that supports 14900k

[Legendario1973]

Look I know it's dumb as hell but I've seen it happen. Did you remove the plastic part of the cooler.

[Kilrah]

You had 270W package power when it maxed out, that's fairly normal. It'll be the overly aggressive BIOS defaults.

[Robchil]

another case of auto overclocking... turn them all off and set the famous limits.. 360 can be too little if you don't do that.. 

in worst case, that case can fit atleast 1 more rad.. if not 2...
