I've recently noticed that my Intel Core i5-11400F is running at very high temperatures, around 92-93 degrees in the BIOS. I already replaced the thermal paste, but that didn't help. I'm using a DeepCool GAMMAXX 200T cooler, which seems to be functioning properly. The overclock settings are on Auto (26) in the BIOS, and my CPU is paired with an RTX 5060ti with 16GB of RAM. I've checked for RAM issues using basic terminal commands and everything appears normal. I'm at a loss for what could be causing these high temperatures.

Just a thought—could your BIOS be displaying temperatures in Fahrenheit instead of Celsius? Sometimes that confuses things, but if you've checked and confirmed it's Celsius with AIDA as well, then that's probably not the issue.
It sounds like the cooler might not be mounted correctly. Even if it’s functioning well, a poor mount can lead to overheating. You should double-check how it’s installed and make sure there’s good contact with the CPU.
Yeah, it’s definitely showing Celsius. Tried AIDA too and got the same results.
