Talking to a guy in a gaming community... told him that 40°C / 104°F idle temperature is anything but a good result on a Core i9 9900k (not to mention that this CPU is a total overkill for gaming).

seems a little hot...

a "little".

Wonder what would be causing that much heat

That's easy: Misaligned cooler, not enough or too much thermal compound.

Nope. Values measured in UEFI

Heaven... he now wants to buy an even bigger cooler. Big coolers are a large threat for a mainboard because of the force that applies to the CPU socket and the PCB.

Just got this error:

while trying to access or Google Drive for the company.

apparently it's an office-wide issue

It would be, because their firewall is blocking your IP.

"their" as in Google?

yes - We assume that all of your internal traffic appears to the web as a single IP address through your firewall - so what affects one will affect all.
