Linux way way slower than Windows?

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Linux is a family of open source Unix-like operating systems based on the Linux kernel, an operating system kernel first released on September 17, 1991 by Linus Torvalds. Linux is typically packaged in a Linux distribution (or distro for short).
Distributions include the Linux kernel and supporting system software and libraries, many of which are provided by the GNU Project. Many Linux distributions use the word "Linux" in their name, but the Free Software Foundation uses the name GNU/Linux to emphasize the importance of GNU software, causing some controversy.

Did you change some hardware when you switched? Put a new SSD in? Maybe you knocked something for cooling lose. Or blocked some vent.
Do you have the Windows installation still? You could try to see if it's showing the same symptoms. Or download some other Linux and boot that from USB.
So windows also gives me a reading of just under 100C but has no problem running my cpu at 2ghz or higher. So I'll have to take a look at my radiator and see what's up.
I installed a SATA ssd to boot windows to because I need it for university, but didn't mess with cooling. Thanks for the help
Your cooler isn't working, or poor contact with the CPU maybe.
With an AIO you should not be seeing more than 60-70C on most setups.
Does windows give you just under 100C when you're just browsing the web or watching videos??
If so then your thermal set up is not working properly. You should check to make sure you've got thermal paste on your CPU and the cooler is mounted properly and making good contact. Also some people may accidentally leave the clear plastic sticker on the cooler where it makes contact with the CPU.
I've never water cooled so I can't give advice there.
The 8700k is rated for a max temperature of 100C so it shouldn't really be anywhere near that at idle. https://ark.intel.com/content/www/us/en/ark/products/126684/intel-core-i7-8700k-processor-12m-cache-up-to-4-70-ghz.html
For context my 7900x is at about 40C at idle and I don't think I've seen it go over 75C under load.
CPUs thermal throttle as they reach their maximum rated tempuratures which would explain why everything is running slower.
Linux may have different thermal cutoffs for when to throttle compared to Windows, so that might explain it.
I'd reseat the connector for the water pump. I just installed a new PSU last week and when I turned it on, I had no RGB. I didn't even think I went near the RGB header, but I ended up having to reseat it.
Can you try changing the power profile to "balanced" or "performance" in gnome/kde settings? Or is it stuck to "power save"?
I'm unable to change it, I think because it's a desktop, not a laptop
Those should work on desktop as well. What's the result of running this command:
sudo systemctl status power-profiles-daemon
