Have a new custom PC from Micro. I read the i9-13900KS 24-core should turbo-boost to 6ghz (w/o manual OC), with adequate cooling. But am barely getting 5ghz, and quickly hitting 100°C at full load. 

Lian Li Galahad II Trinity Performance AIO.  

Lian Li LANCOOL III ATX Mid-Tower (three 120mm 1300 rpm fans)

MSI Z790 Carbon MB- Turbo-boost enabled in bios.

1200w power.

Airflow seems excellent. 

So why is my CPU so warm, and stopping at 5ghz at full load? Settings to try?

Am about a 4 on a 1-10 tech savvy scale.  

Thanks!

Rich Text Editor. To edit a paragraph's style, hit tab to get to the paragraph menu. From there you will be able to pick one style. Nothing defaults to paragraph. An inline formatting menu will show up when you select text. Hit tab to get into that menu. Some elements, such as rich link embeds, images, loading indicators, and error messages may get inserted into the editor. You may navigate to these using the arrow keys inside of the editor and delete them with the delete or backspace key.
