On Cod MW its getting up to 95c. Whats going on?

There is no fix, at least not an easy one. The stock AIO is not really affective on anything above I5 10600K, for your i7 10700K its still not bad at 93C, everyone else with 10850K and 10900K, like myself, is getting a massive thermal throttling and the only solution is migrating to a different case plus a better AIO. I am finishing my transfer video and the results are impressive, with a 240mm AIO and a much better ventilated case, the temperatures dropped around 15C from before. I was getting 98C with the stock now the highest I am seeing while playing CP2077 is 81C and while video edition with heavy CPU usage, 90C.

I had problems with my old hp pc and was giving hp another chance with this pc. Guess i should never have done that. What a dissapointment.. i was hoping this pc with aio should work much better then stock fan on my old pc. Do they never test the pc first if they can handle it? Im getting max 95c on some games but i never getting any game freeze or lags so thats good i guess. But still it really sucks.. the fan on the front only helps the graphic card. Getting around 70c while gaming on rtx 3080. They should have made 240mm aio on top for this pc. Im just wondering, is 95c acceptable? If not im returning the pc. Thanks for your help tho!

I absolutely agree, 240AIO would have been ideal, that and another 12mm fan for intake, but maybe on the next generation of Omen. 

95C is definitely not ideal, but is still below the t-junction for that CPU, so not really going to damage it, but than again, the noise from the AIO is unbearable. 

Oh and I wouldn't return it, definitely not returning mine, considering how impossible is to find RTX3080 and it's not going to change at least for another 3-4 months.

@Hwsense Again I find myself waiting on one of your videos, lol. You change the MoBo while you’re at it? Curios if changing MoBo requires a new Windows license.

On a side note, mine has only made it to 83 playing avengers. Similar playing Red Dead Redemption 2 on mostly ultra settings.

I decided not to upgrade the motherboard for now, maybe further down the line, new motherboard will definitely require you to transfer the Windows license to it from the old one, which is easily done, I can make a video on it. 

Your temps are not bad at all, so I guess the I7 is the cutoff for this AIO.

Hi again! Im using omen gaming hub and change the fans from balanced to turbo. Now im getting max 86c. Thats nice but daamn so loud. I hope they can fix the balanced mode to be more effective because when i have turbo mode on all the time its still loud when im not gaming.. i think the problem with balanced mode is when the temp hits 90c its here the fans go faster. It should go faster before hitting 90. Sorry for my bad english.
