If you look at the OEM specs for the AMD 5800 CPU, you notice the manufacturer lists the maximum temps at 95 C.

Keep in mind you do not want to reach that temperature, because the CPU will throttle back performance as soon as it reaches that temperature, to prevent excessive heat and subsequent damage to the CPU.

I would contact a support agent and inquire about the temperature limit your configuration should reach.  I would simply point out the manufacturers specifications (for the OEM) version of the 5800 and inquire why 99 C would be considered ok.

On air I would personally not be comfortable with anything over 85 C, regardless of CPU load. Only time I would consider that to be ok would be an extreme benchmark test with Furmark or similar, which is designed to push the CPU to it's thermal limit.

You can upgrade it to liquid cooling.

Yeah, but if I open it up it voids the manufacturer warranty right?

No, only if your upgrade in some way damages the PC.

If something under warranty fails you would need to put it back to OEM configuration for service.

Vanadiel,

The specifications for that Aurora R10 are below.

CPU = NTMXC AMD R7-5800
Video card = NH5PX AMD/MSI RX 5600
RAM = 16GB (Two W21KG 8GB XMP DDR4, 3200MHz, 1Gx64, Unbuffered, 288 pin, Single Rank, 1.25V, Non-ECC)
PSU = 550W

Yeah, that's got to be costing Nvidia, manufacturing partners, and OEMs a pretty penny in warranty replacements.

That being said I personally would prefer liquid cooling over air cooling for such a setup.

Can't hurt but I don't think that will get far, this is within manufacturer spec and what he heard from support is consistent with that. Per Robert Hallock, director of technical marketing at AMD, about CPU temps as they related to the Ryzen 5000 series. Ryzen 5000 series CPU may run at 90C or even 95C, which is "typical and by design," according to AMD.

"Yes. I want to be clear with everyone that AMD views temps up to 90C (5800X/5900X/5950X) and 95C (5600X) as typical and by design for full load conditions. Having a higher maximum temperature supported by the silicon and firmware allows the CPU to pursue higher and longer boost performance before the algorithm pulls back for thermal reasons," Hallock said.

Note the 5800 is a lower 65W OEM only version slotted in at the 95 (as opposed to 90) normal operating limit.

I keep mine below 80, because to me anything close to the point where water turns into steam is a bit to much for my liking.

I use a 65 Watt TDP 3700X and on liquid cooling it stays below 70 C during high load.

90c during high load on an 8c 16t CPU air cooled with the air cooler starved by the psu right above is to be expected

5800x liquid cooled here, it reaches max temp. 90° during high load (CineBench R23 multi-core). I've also replace thermal paste with Kryonaut, nothing changed. For me it's not prio1 since I use it mostly for gaming (e.g. on Cyberpunk ~70°) yet a fail by design.
