Hey there! I see you're new to this setup and have some concerns about your CPU temps. It's totally normal to feel a bit unsure—especially with all the gear you're using. Just keep an eye on the readings from iCue or HWmonitor, and make sure they stay within the manufacturer's recommended ranges for your i9-10900k. If you're still unsure, feel free to ask more specific questions about your setup!
It seems fine overall. Keep the temperature below 90°C to avoid problems. I use the same cooler, and as long as my room stays cool, I rarely exceed 70°C. I don’t apply thermal paste; instead, I have an innovation cooling graphite pad that performs slightly warmer in tests compared to standard thermal compounds.
