Yea, 77-80 when running games isn’t normal…I keep my 5900x clocked to 4.6 ghz and after playing madden since 130 today the max temp I’ve hit has been 49.1 on the cpu die and 39.8 on cpu tactless/tide over that period as reported by hwinfo…I’d accept temps up to 65ish under load anything after that your cooler is either insufficient or not working properly. I’m only running a liquid freezor II 360mm less than 8 months old. Every year you should blow out the fins on coolers as dirt get trapped in them and they don’t cool right…if you do have a water cooler aio especially a Corsair one check that the pump is working in the software if the pump is reading 0rpm then that’s an issue.
I cleaned my radiator and replaced the thermal paste last week also i have a NZXT Kraken 360mm im not saying madden is a demanding game but there has to be something wrong with it. It needs to be more optimize.
Btw thx for trying to help

no problem, you have a cooler in that nzxt Kracken that is more than enough cooling so i wouldnt go buying another cooler you wont gain anything or be upgrading it. My max temps after a two hour session is 60, but im not on an intel chip so idk what to tell you unless your AIO pump is dead...can you hear the aio pump running or better yet can you see the rpms in the cam software, maybe check that...asitek pumps that all the aio companies use can fail, thats only way i see your temps getting so high...even 80 sounds kinda high for my liking even tho chips can handle more thermal throttling usually kicks in which degrades performance.
what AIO cooler do u recommend?
@BigShotChunk I would run something like Cinebench and see what temps you get. Are you playing at 4K? If not, any of the standard 360mm AIO's would work. I've used MSI, Corsair, NTXZ and they all should cool that chip I would also check bios update and see if there's anything worth updating for, and chipset drivers also.
