Hi first post here so apologies if its lacking any information needed about the matter.
So when i first bought my pc this is what the specs were.

I got my pc from pc specialist 2 years ago and decided to recently upgrade so i bought myself from overclockers:
Inno3D GeForce GTX 980Ti X3 Ultra 6144MB GDDR5 PCI-Express Graphics Card (C98T3-1SDN-N5HNX)
and also bought some more RAM of
Kingston HyperX Beast 8GB (2x4GB) PC3-17100C11 2133MHz Dual Channel Kit (HX321C11T3K2/8)
I installed them and everything seemed fine the computer picked the new hardware up fine and all the software for the new card worked. However a few days later i was playing Killing floor 2 and my pc restarted mid game. and then a few days later again it happened so i thought right better check this out.
so i downloaded CPUID HWMONITOR and SPEEDFAN and found that my CPU was overheating. With the CPU i have i found online saying it could run up to 95 degrees however im hitting on both hwmonitor and speedfan between 115-120 degrees since installing my new hardware.
i went into the bios set all fans to turbo even downloaded EVGA to check the GPU and put the fans to 100% on that and i could see that the CPU temp kept jumping between 60 and 115-120 so it looked like it was trying to cool itself down.
So i went and ordered from overclockers a
Corsair Hydro H60 V2 High Performance Liquid CPU Cooler (CW-9060007-WW)
as i thought it just needed some better cooling over the standard intel fan that was on the motherboard. so i just installed it and it comes with thermalpaste already preapplied and after looking online most people said the paste it of a decent enough quality to use. the new corsair fan is running and i can feel a lot more cold air coming out the case. so i started up killing floor 2 and again its saying my CPU is overheating just like before.
The only thing i havent tried yet is putting my old card back in and installing that to see how the CPU performs, but of course ideally i would like to use my brand new better GPU.
does anyone have any ideas as to what the problem could be here? if you need any other information please ask and ill try to provide as best i can.
