Hi guys,
I am running a 9900ks with an Aplhacool Eisbaer Extreme 280mm AIO and I am having a hard time keeping the temps down.

I am currently 'overclocked' to 5.2GHz at 1.28v vCORE.
Idle temps around 38~ degrees.

When I run cinebench it will break 95'c depending on room temp.
I ive tried running prime95 but the temps jump to 99 -100 then my pc will crash.

I have been looking at reviews of other AIO's paired with 9900k's, they seem to be able to get 80 degrees with 1.36v.

I have tried reseating the cooler several times, ive tried different mounting pressures. I have replaced the 2 bequiet fans with 4 noctua 3000rpm fans which gave the results above.

Is the alphacool faulty or my CPU defective?
I am really tempted to buy a NZXT AIO and see if it is better.
