Is the Valkyrie V360 MIST overheating during Deathloop fights?

I finally found a way to break the loop, but my CPU was dancing on the edge of 95℃, which was honestly a bit stressful. The issue was the 'Smart Mode' on the V360 MIST; the pump had a 3-5 second response lag during load spikes, causing heat to pile up at the block. I tried cranking the radiator fans to 2200 RPM, but it was just loud as hell and only dropped the temp by 2℃—totally useless. I finally went into the BIOS and locked the pump speed at a flat 100%, then switched the fan trigger to be based on coolant temp instead of CPU temp. The core temps plummeted from 95℃ to a much safer 72℃ - 78℃, and the clock speed stopped jumping. I did get a slight coil whine from the pump after locking it, which I only managed to dampen by switching my Windows power plan to 'Balanced'. Coolant stays between 35℃ - 42℃. Switched the software to manual mode, and the CPU now sits at 68℃ - 75℃.
