I'm noticing that my CPU temperature is reaching between 80 to 90 degrees Celsius, and this happens even when I'm not playing any games. I've installed an AIO cooler recently and used new thermal paste, so I'm puzzled as to why it's overheating so much. Any insights or suggestions?

Double-check if the pump on your AIO cooler is working correctly. Make sure your cooler is properly mounted, meaning it's flush with the CPU and that everything is plugged in as it should be.
You might need to provide more details about your CPU and AIO model. If they're both new, consider whether air bubbles could be trapped in the AIO. There are plenty of tutorials online that can help with that. Also, think about undervolting your CPU as a potential fix.
Have you checked to make sure you removed any plastic from the contact area before installing the cooler? It’s a common mistake that can seriously impact cooling performance.
What software are you using to monitor your CPU temperatures? It’s possible that it might be giving you inaccurate readings, which could lead to unnecessary panic.
