Hey, I just finished assembling a new build and noticed my fans spinning nonstop while the CPU gets hot even when idle.
Details:
Intel Core i7-14700K 3.4 GHz 20-Core Processor
be quiet! Pure Loop 2 FX Liquid CPU Cooler
MSI Z790 GAMING PRO WIFI ATX LGA1700 Motherboard

I looked at my thermal paste and all the fan connections.

I just verified that the heatsink is in contact with the CPU and the paste is evenly distributed, which it is.

I used a graphite thermal pad before switching it for the paste, assuming the pad was the issue.

Is it me or is this just an excessive amount of paste? That kind of overuse actually undermines the goal. Too much paste tends to insulate the CPU instead of helping it dissipate heat effectively. Please wait for feedback from others, but I believe you should remove the excess and apply a suitable layer. A grain of rice-sized paste would be ideal, spreading evenly under the pressure between the CPU and the cooler base. Be careful not to let any paste fall into the CPU socket.

I took out the paste and reinserted the graphite thermal pad, but it worked just fine at the same temperatures as before.

I am changing the wiring by taking out most of the fans from the RGB controller and connecting them to the MB.

I gathered everything and turned off all but the exhaust fan. I utilized every MB header (four) for the remaining fans, and employed splitters for the two lower fans and the CPU header, which powers the radiator fans.

It's operating more quietly, yet the main temperatures indicate it's at 100°C. The MSI display shows 68°C, and the air coming out of the case feels cool, making me doubt those readings.

My computer stopped working because the temperatures got too high! It seems like an AIO issue is the cause. 😳
