My cpu

[LoneXxx]

I have a i7-13700k on a Z790 Gaming Plus WiFi motherboard, my gpu is a 4080 super, when I go to check my cpu core temp it’s at around 30-60 C but when I play a game it goes at 99 to 100 how do I fix this thermal throttle

See if you have thermal paste installed correctly, that would be my best guess, but you could also have mounted your cooler improperly.

Agree with AAVV, also check if the cooler mounting bracket is on tight. Same with screws for the cooler.

What cooler do you have?

How much power is your CPU drawing when you're hitting those temps in games?

It’s draws 70-105 v

that's a good cooler, one thing I'd do though is an address potential issues with the type of CPU you have, which could also help lower the temps too:

 

 

• Remember any BIOS guides are for reference, each MB has their own bios, not just brand but each model has their own version of bios.

A 360mm AIO should have no problem at all with that level of power. There must be a mounting problem, or something in the cooler has failed, or maybe your cooler had a plastic peel on the bottom and you didn't peel it off.
