i9 14900k normal temps while gaming? (alien.top)

I've recently installed the i9 14900k paired with a 4090, 32GB ram and 360mm AIO. The idle temps on the 14900k can be anywhere from 35-45 c and when playing games such as warzone it can peak at 70 c is this normal?I used to have the i7 12700k and it wouldn't go past 40/45c when playing warzone.

Is there anything I can do to make this better or is it completely normal and good? Should I be editing any BIOS settings its all default (apart from XMP for the ram)

Are you limiting the clock at all? Out of the box with a Strix Wi-Fi Gaming II, Turbo was on by default.

In Cyberpunk, clock speeds for me were regularly up at the 5.7 GHz turbo max.

And temps were bouncing off of that 100c limit frequently. I have a Noctua u12-a cooling it.

I'm wondering if a 360 AIO is really that much better than a u12-a at keeping the 14900k cool. That would blow my mind.
