Just built a computer and the first thing I see is a screen showing my CPU at 90 Celcius. I noticed the water cooler can be slightly shifted if touch, might it be since I added the backplate to LGA 2011, even though it mentioned not required?

Wow, that's bad...

You need to contact Corsair for an RMA or for them to send you a new screw part then. You shouldn't even be using the system if it idles at 90c.

The H100i should not be wobbling.

It needs to be firm/tight against the processor. There should be no wobble.

You didn't tell me if this was on a load, like prime95 or intel burn test or just idle.

If this is idle, turn off the system and read your H100 manual. The h100 should be firm/tight, but not to tight.
