Hello, just to state, I am not a Wiz when it comes to technology, I dable but don't main the experience , with that being said
I have had my computer for about 2-3 years now has ran FINE throughout its life time 

I built it back in 2022 & the system contains
an i9 processor with a asus Z690-E (ROG ddr5 atx) motherboard ,
2x 32GB “Crucial “ CL40 Ram,
3080 RTX Geforce,
1000w power supply ,
and a Lian Li Galahad 360mm RGB AIO cooling system 

In the past I would use the computer all day everyday with no problem or issues whatsoever, as of late I haven't had the need to use the system as I just got a ps5 (so the system has been off most of the time) 
just recently (roughly between the last months of 2024) noticed whenever I turn on the system and run some minor things like internet browsing, or even getting on a few games (phas, Fortnite, Minecraft) NO MATTER WHAT 
it runs hot, like 88°C hot, I turned on some setting to lower power usage in the BIOs menus
and even tried some programs on windows that I can control the fans and AIO, but nothing seems to cool it
I do only have 2 fans (one for exhaust & one for pulling in cold air), is that a problem?
do i need more fans?
does the air pull in from the inside of the system towards the radiator & out for the AIO, or from the outside in? 
do i need a new AIO cooling system?
Does the coolant run out of AIO? Should i add more?
Should i check my thermal paste between the cpu & Cooling system?
am i missing something?
ANY tips are GOOD tips! 
I take criticism Well So by all means TELL ME WHAT IM DOING WRONG!!

please help as i now have a job dealing with photoshop and video editing as I will need the computer more than ever in the near future and definitely don't want to drop alot of money on materials I 
don't necessarily: Any help would be greatly appreciated , thank you in advance !

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.
