I loaded up my pc and my top 3 fans were flashing red and were abnormally loud. I opened ICUE Corsair software and saw that my CPU Package temperature was 100 degrees Celsius which wasn’t normal according to Google ESPECIALLY if no apps were open (they weren’t). I checked for firmware updates on ICUE and found one for my RAM but that was it. I checked Task Manager and nothing seemed wrong either. Yesterday I had only played games and turned PC off like always. Please help if you have any idea :) Thanks

wouldn't hurt to also open the case and check all the fans are working, free of dust and the air vents are clean.

how old is the rig - maybe time to replace the CPU thermal paste.
