Rule of thumb is to use the tdp and at least try to cover that with the thermal rating. 120w is your tdp and that is either a beefy air cooler or a multifan aio. These cpus do run hot but it’s by design to some extent. My tdp is 150 in the same series with a rating of 170 on the aio. Still goes up to 90 when stressed.
