I7 8700K Running hot... or is it?

After a bit of advice, just built up my new desktop with spec as per the signature. My CPU Cooler is the NZXT Kraken X62 with pull set up but I'm finding on some games it's warning me my CPU is too hot (hitting temps of 81 degrees on BF1).

I'm trying to figure out where I may be going wrong but thought I would check, I understand the 8700k does run hot but this has not yet been overclocked and I'm now conscious whether I should if it's getting these temps already. Is there anything I'm missing? Or have I maybe done something wrong?
