I've recently upgraded my PC from an AMD Ryzen 2600 and ASRock MB to the new build below with an i9-12900K. My problem is that it keeps running at like 95-99* C whenever I'm gaming (idles at around 50). The games are typically Madden or Battlefield, running at medium-high settings. The games run fine, but I worry about the temp of the CPU. I've read around and thought maybe it was the cooler - so I took it off, added a tiny bit more thermal paste, and made sure its making good contact when putting it back on. I've also tried lowering the voltage - which helped, but then it becomes unstable and will crash mid-game once things get heavy. I'm curious if anyone has any other solutions or tips - or if this is even anything I should worry about since these chips tend to run hotter.
