i7-10700KF reaching 100°C in games

How old is your AIO?

Can you also take a picture of the waterblock/pump and a picture where it shows the pwm cable from the pump to which 4-pin pwm header you're got connected to the motherboard?

my aio is like 5 years old
Sorry I don'y know how to access this 4pin pwm header, but I discussed on an other forum and i'm convinced to buy a new cooler.

I noticed multiple versions of both the Phantom Spirit and the Peerless Assassin.
Could you please advise which specific model would be best suited for my setup?
If possible, could you share the exact link to the recommended product ?
  1. Thermalright Phantom Spirit : i saw like 5 or 6 products on the link
  2. Thermalright Peerless Assassin : same, many prodcuts looks the same to me..
  3. an other one ?
And do i need to add fans at the top because if i remove all the watercooling i will not have any fan on the top

I set up the phantom 120 SE as well as a new corsair 2x16gb ram (3200Mhz). I also enabled XMP in the bios.

Temperatures in games are much better! I get a maximum of 65°C and I still have a little stuttering in game (returnal) but it's probably because I set all graphics to epic (DLSS = balanced)

Finally, do you see any other problems in the test results or in the settings to optimize my PC?

I've included screenshots of everything I think might help (hwinfo64 after playing returnal, msi bios settings screenshot, cinebench CPU & GPU, 3D mark steel nomad test, returnal game performance test).

Thank you very much again, you've been a great help! :)
 
Nicely done, glad to see that hardware getting properly used. Whoever put that AIO up against a glass panel has no business building anything with moving parts.
