@ MatthijsRoothans ,

Mine is in the Advanced CPU Core section.

Just to verify:
Have you made changes to your BIOS settings since the IT specialist build your pc ?

Made any changed to the System Registry "tweeks"?

Changes "tweeks" to any P3D default files?

Have you made changes to your BIOS settings since the IT specialist build your pc ?
yes i did:
-I turned boost peformance mode to Turbo peformance
-I disabled Intel(R) Speedstep(tm)
-I disabled Intel(R) Speed Shift Technology
-I enabled turbo mode

Made any changed to the System Registry "tweeks"?
No

Changes "tweeks" to any P3D default files?
I changed in the p3d config file UIHardwareAcceleration to false (for the reshade)

Does your Motherboard BIOS have a Power Limit TDP setting / Options?
I haven't seen/found this option in the BIOS

@ MatthijsRoothans ,

Ok,
You know your current settings / changes.

What do you think about selecting return BIOS to Factory Defaults and doing a test?

Okay so i just returned BIOS to Factory Default, still the same issue. Nothing changed, still hitting 95 degrees :/ It only happens when im airborne, from the moment i pass 4000 feet i start getting temp issues. On the ground everything works perfectly.

Okay did some more testing, till now the only solution i found is to turn off the tubobooster. Temps are than fine but the peformance is horrible, i had 15 fps while using a system that costs around 1800 euro....

Are you flying the default P3D aircraft?
Yep, using the default planes, i also use the pmdg and fslabs to test. All planes have the same issue.

Using a weather program?
Yep! Im using active sky for p3d

Anything else?
Yep! Im also using: Chaseplane, Volanta and Flychrono

Alrighty, I think i finnaly got it. Since air flow might be the issue, I decided to test it out today. I removed the glass panel and started testing. And yes! Finally i got some positive news, temps decreased alot to around 65-70 degrees! So my guess goes out that the cpu cooling isnt good enough. I was trying to avoid spending any money but I guess i dont have any other option left. So I will install some water cooling equipment.

Everyone, thanks alot of helping me out! It is appreciated alot!!!

You could also try to add more case fans first. A general rule of thumb is to have each exhaust fan paired up with one intake fan. For my particular case I have 6, 3 intake and 3 exhaust. Or you could do both, water cooling and additional case fans.

I've also seen extreme measures where folks direct room air conditioning directly into their case. Condensation may become an issue with that though.

Just make sure that all the fans you have or get are pulling/pushing air in the same direction in the case. If just one us turned the wrong way around you could have an issue.

Yeah i already checked that, the air flow is just really bad in my case. I also saw on the internet that my case actually is designed for water cooling.
