Virt-a-mate high operating temps 95-100c w/ RTX 4090

Alrighty, so I'm a bit surprised but I used to have an entry level pre-built PC (about $1k) that could handle smaller scenes with VAM. I bought a brand new expensive (about $4k) pre-built (I'm not too tech saavy) with what I thought were very high specs. It has a NVIDIA GeForce RTX 4090 and Intel 24-Core i9-14900KF Processor with quite a bit of RAM, I don't know what other specs would be important to this conversation but feel free to ask!

As soon as I load any scene in VAM I hear the fans ramp up and the temps rise up to 95+c as soon as the scene starts. The scenes run great and smooth with very high FPS but the temperature is concerning me. I ran a scene and watched the temps for about 5 min with an average temp around 95c, I'm viewing the sensors with HWiNFO64. I'll also put the settings in VAM to mid or lower to not much change in temps. I really appreciate the help but I'm a bit lost, I'm also a bit too inverted to write the manufacturer to ask for help on how to properly run my porn game, so thanks in advance

Enable V-sync, or force it on through Nvidia Control Panel.
"Very High FPS" sounds like the issue there.


-edit-
Granted that even if it operates at 100%, 95c doesn't sound normal at all, so it could also be a hardware issue (bad airflow, dusty or hot environment, and so on).

Man, thankyou so much. I loaded up a scene and it went 95c, fans going crazy with a FPS around 260-300 and then turned on Vsync and within a few moments it dropped to 50-65c at 60FPS. I figure the airflow on this thing isn't the best, and I'll look into upgrading the tower soon but this works perfect for now. Thanks again, mind blowing how quick that was and I hope you have a great day.
