i5 4670k heating to much?

Solution
Hi i have the same cpu. i done some tests for a friend and found that at stock or 3.4Ghz the intel HSF is perfect. but if you motherboard like mine enable cpu boost (the cpu jumps from 3.4 to 3.8Ghz) the stock intel HSF might strugle a little bit.
when the i5-4670K hits around 85'c it will start to throttle down (run slower) to help cope with the heat. so this leaves you with 3 options. first is to live with it running hot. second is to disable cpu boost so the cpu keeps at 3.4Ghz or third is to get a good HSF. you don't have to go crazy. just someting that can handly the extra heat.
Oh this is assuming you computer case has good air flow and is exhausting the hot air ok

Those temps are not normal! Try reapplying the thermal paste and be sure that you installed the cooler correctly! Stock cooler are crappy so consider buying a new aftermarket one... if the problem doesn't get solved

I don't agree with this. New Intel stock coolers do a very good job if you don't overclock. For instance, I have a i5-2500K with stock cooler and my temps are around 32C on idle and 55C under load. But it's true that I've heard that 4th generation Haswell tend to run a little hotter compared to 2nd and 3rd generation, but still 83C is not normal.
newbleet: Looks like you didn't install your heatsink properly. Can you tell us what heatsink you're using? Did you apply thermal paste? You most probably will have to remove it and re-apply paste and make sure it's properly seated with enough pressure on the CPU.

thanks for your reply but my system shows that my cpu is running only @3.40ghz
edit: i dwonloaded cpu z and it shows 3800 mhz,thank you so much

might be worth opening something like CPU-Z and running some light benchmarks to see if you cpu boosts upto 3.8Ghz.
also check you have good air flow through your case and as already stated check your HSF is fitted correctly.
if all else fails replace the HSF

chosed your first reply as a solution,u were right,thanks,one more question tho,how much must the max temperature be using prime 95 tress testing ?

the i5-4670K can rated upto operate at upto 100'C but will throttle at around 80 to 85'c.
so by i would say 80'c is the max temp you want to see in order to get max performance from your cpu.

82C is still too high for my taste. You might want to change your heatsink, or re-install the one your already have.
Also, what kind of case do you have? Make sure you have enough fans with good airflow. Ideally, at least 1 x fan for intake and 1 x fan for exhaust to make sure the air circulates inside.
