Hello, your setup with an i9 processor and Corsair H100X is working fine under normal conditions. The CPU temperature spikes to around 90°C during Minecraft load but then drops back down. This behavior is common when gaming intensely. It shouldn’t significantly impact long-term CPU or memory lifespan unless the temperatures remain consistently high. Keep monitoring and ensure proper cooling if needed.

It seems 90 degrees is acceptable without harming components, though I believe CPUs might begin throttling just a few degrees higher.

It shouldn't reach 90 during the Minecraft loading process

Yes, I can detect the sound of the pump and the fans are indeed spinning.

Operate the machine under similar conditions and note the temperatures after several minutes. It shouldn’t overheat or slow down significantly if the cooling system functions properly.

Hello! Here are a few couple troubleshooting tips:
- How tight were you adjusting the block to the CPU?
- Were you applying extra force?
- Where is the radiator positioned?
- Did you remember the amount of paste used?

I checked it too, it doesn’t overheat even with Intel burn test—it reaches around 75.
