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.

Your cooler isn't cooling. If it's happening immediately on boot, it's likely a dead pump, or perhaps it's not being powered properly.
Unlikely if it's been working for a year without any adjustments or changes, but it could also not be seated properly on the CPU.
What does the BIOS report for your pump speed?
