7600X Running Hot

Hi all, I'm not sure if this is normal or not. Advise is appreciated.

I've switched from a 9600K that sat at just under 70 degrees under load to a 7600X that's nearly hitting 90 degrees under load.

I've got an NZXT H9 and a 360mm AIO so cooling shouldn't be an issue and I'm fairly certain I've not made a mistake installing the block / CPU.

Having a quick look on Reddit people are saying it's normal but I thought I'd double check here. Do these CPUs just have a higher heat output?
 
That does seem high, that CPUs in that socket gen did run hot (my 8700k was a nightmare to cool) so I wouldn't expect the 7600x to be even hotter, it should be cooler if anything (happy to be told differently though).

Short of reseating the cold plate, you could undervolt it via PBO which will reduce temps significantly.

Then likely normal without adjustments.

FYI:
Designed for a lifetime at 95

Before anything else, let’s be clear: All of the quality analysis for Ryzen 7000 series desktop processors was done at 95 degrees Celsius. The chip is engineered to live its life at this temperature with no detriment to longevity or reliability. In fact, this is the same design target we’ve had for a number of product generations, but it has not been until the Ryzen 7000 series that the platform has had access to a level of socket power that makes 95 C the temperature that delivers the most performance during multithreaded workloads…

Ryzen 7000 Series Processors: Let's Talk About Power, Temperature, and Performance

At AMD, we’re extremely proud of what our engineers accomplished with the new Ryzen 7000 series processors and platform from all angles. Whether it’s performance, efficiency, or longevity, this is just a killer processor. But to push the boundaries, you have to break convention sometimes, and...

Okay, that's good to know. Just coming from my Intel CPUs before I was a bit worried. I'll have a fiddle tomorrow when I'm working from home. I'm tempted to get a Liquid Freezer III 360mm as I don't think this EK one is doing its job too great.

Compiling shaders can be very CPU intensive, if your temps are fine in games I wouldn't worry about it.
