I have;
5900x With a H100i elite AIO Cooler
3090 Suprim X

HWInfo is showing 91c CCD #0
Other programme Is showing 87c CCD1

This is whilst playing Beyond Human at 4k
Also Graphics card shows over 100c on the Tcore this is a Suprim X (but prob for another area)

Anyhow, I am running the CPU on stock thermal paste. I have had the PC around 2 years, but worried if the temps are high?
I have iCue running and all settings are stock. I believe the PC mag overclock as showing the boost Max at 4.8ghz and voltage 1.488

I'm thinking if it's worth taking off the AIO and reapplying g the thermal paste with some MX6. Would this resolve the temps?

Are my temps high or normal for this CPU?
Could the 3090 Suprim X be causing my CPU to overheat with the passing of heat being dragged through the top of my case?

What would be a good programme to use that I could use to run, record temps and then repeat when new thermal paste is supplied?

Thanks in advance and sorry if too much info provided. I was just hoping this may help get some clarity as haven't messed around with PC settings in a long time.
 
Sounds high.

Is your AIO pump making a grinding noise?

I’d definitely reapply thermal paste and check that it’s seated properly.

A 5900X isn’t a hot running CPU so there’s something wrong.

No, they're not normal for gaming.

It would play a role, sure, but unlikely to be the culprit, your case would need major airflow problems.

You're using it already.
 
Does your case have decent airflow. Do you have a fan in the top at the rear of your case extracting the hot air.
