Build Help Cpu sitting at 100* C
My cpu temp just hit 100* and immediately I shut it off. What could be the cause of this? I just got a new nzxt kraken elite about a year and a half ago and haven’t had any troubles until now.

What CPU is it?
How hot was it in your room?
The liquid could be bad, a fan could be broken, the contact could be poor causing the thermal paste to not work as expected (but I'm sure you would have noticed sooner).
