CPU overheating with AIO 240mm cooler

Hello, 
I'm currently running the i9 14900k with the Thermalright Frozen Notte 240 Black ARGB Water Cooling CPU Cooler. I'm having some temp problems specifically while gaming. I've updated to the latest BIOS for my motherboard and I'm really left with what to do in terms of how to solve this without buying a bigger AIO CPU Cooler. However, I could be wrong if these temps are normal.. I'll attach a photo I took of the temps while gaming.

 

  • You’ve got an AIO cooler, a 240mm beauty that should be keeping that CPU as cool as the other side of the pillow. But no, instead, it's giving you temps hotter than a summer day in Phoenix! I mean, I’d advise against running it while gaming. It’s not just a CPU; it’s a little volcanic mountain at this point.
