Infact it's strange because same cpu e same water cooler were used with designarex and temp were very low at idle and max 55° when forced to apps or games. I will try to clean and put again thermal paste. I hope it's not a motherboard problemMight be a bad thermal application, try taking off the cpu cooler, wiping it with 99% rubbing alcohol, and re-apply the paste.
It should be a very small amount of paste.
Maybe the surface of the cpu cooler isn't flat enough?
I get ~ 30-35c on idle and I run my 360MM custom EK rad at very low fan speeds (push/pull config) for quiet operation with a custom fan curve. It only kicks in when it hits around 65c+, but I have an OC set to all 18 cores at 4.4Ghz. It peaks out at ~84c on full load with fans kicked in to about 75% and that is the TJunction limit for the 9980XE and I also set it to throttle at that temperature.
This is the cable I used for USB2 BT to USB3 onboard.
Please can you tell me where did you connect pump cable and radiator fans cable? I put pump cable in AIO connector pump (near Audio chip) and radiator fans in CPU_FAN near CPU_OPT connector
