About two weeks ago I rebuilt my rig entirely, and I put a non OC 4670k in the rig with the stock heatsink(have yet to find a heatsink that actually fits this mobo). I started feeling performance issues that would indicate a possible overheating processor(I.E. Load being high when just idle, performance/speed decrease, etc.), so I downloaded CoreTemp and decided to check my processor's temp. What I found was that it literally is always reading at 99-100C, sometimes reading at about 85C right as I start up, but almost immediately reaching 99-100, and staying there whether it's idle or under load. I figure broken sensor is forcing misread temps, because my processor should be destroyed by now if that was the case, yet I'm still experiencing less performance than I originally was, and quite significantly, too. GPU temps are quite normal, even under load (29C for an EVGA GeForce 760Ti w/ 2GB VRAM), so I practically ruled that out. Any possible ideas?
To Update: The stock heatsink is installed correctly, I've reinstalled it, and it IS touching, that's relatively clear to anyone who has half a clue what they are doing. The motherboard and my RAM are all so tight and fitted with several components that dont allow any non-stock heatsinks I have on hand to fit, that's what I meant.
