CPU temp reaching 80-95C

[Flesh]

i7-9700KF
RTX2080 Super
Some stupid stock cooling unit (liquid with a back fan unit)

I just want to make sure it's not running hot enough to cause any damage. I usually play for a couple hours and I don't want the sustained temp to cause any damage.

Though i've read that some of the newer CPUs are built to handle higher temps but I couldn't find much info on the subject.

Glass panel gets INCREDIBLY hot should I remove it while playing?

None of my prior rigs have had such incredible heat issues, but it seems like RDR2 is the only game that does this.

You need more case airflow. Make sure radiator is free of dust and debris. Never leave leave your PC open because dust and debris will accumulate. You want it sealed shut and air intake on bottom and exhaust on top.

Doesn't seem right. I'm running an old i7, similar set up with cooling and it's running at about 60.

I agree about cleaning out CPU fan. I've always put my lower temps down to the cooling liquid and radiator. Are you sure it's working, fan or liquid problem?

Can always undervolt ya cpu if ya know what you are doing.

Noctua make heavy duty fans, watch your fingers though, seriously.

I have high end water cooled system and run most of the settings on low otherwise it cooks my computer. Low settings in Red dead are basically high on any other game.

I just got it a couple weeks ago it's clean as a whistle.

Cooling system working fine, fan working optimally. Not sure why the temp is so insane.

I put the settings at half the temp is handling better here. I figured with a top end it could handle it guess not. I noticed when any sort of rays are enabled (sun and such or heavy effects via weather) the heating issue gets WAY worse. Otherwise everything else can be ran in max settings.

Never use stock radiators or coolers for gaming rig. First mistake.
It`s a gaming rig not calculator.
Second mistake - never use stock PSU which comes with the case.
Third mistake - not enough coolers in case. Airflow has to come through front and come out through rear and/or top.

While comments like this sound a bit pretentious, I have to agree that the problem is likely insufficient cooling. Stock cooling is often not enough for extended load (such as gaming). Unfortunately, by stock cooling does OP mean what came with the processor or what came with the case? Some high end cases do come with decent cooling and even decent power supplies, butt unless OP mentions what case, PSU, and cooling they are using, we will never actually know.

If your side panel is getting that hot then you probably got a major issue with your case airflow, it shouldn't even be hot at all lmao.

What is your system temp? It shouldn't go much higher than 40c with half-way decent airflow

Also 95c is not what I would call "okay", 85c is about the highest somewhat acceptable temp, although still uncomfortably hot

This particular model (i7-9700KF) has a max Junction Temperature of 100°C, which means that it should never exceed this temperature. You also do not want to maintain this tem, consider it the max for throttling. 85°C should be perfectly safe for the processor even if consistent for a couple hours, but I would not recommend exceeding this for very long (you should only throttle beyond this point).

Edit: Added CPU model and more info for clarity.

heres the link to the pre built. i got it from the store so massive oof. probably gonna return it.

idle temp is 42C-58C
