The heatsink I am using can be found here.
http://www.tigerdirect.com/applications/SearchTools/ite...
Here are my computer specs.
Processor- I5 4570k 3.2GHz Quad-Core
RAM-8GB DDR3 Corsair XMS3
Graphics Card- Asus Nvidia GeForce GTX 750TI 2GB GDDR5( I have two )
Motherboard- Asus Intel Z87-A
I am using realtemp, and my temperatures are going high as 100 degrees Celsius. I was thinking on replacing the thermal paste with artic freeze.
I don't think it's a problem with the heatsink, even though I don't trust the plastic pins...
Idle temps are around 60Celsius.
Though when I play a basic game it gets really hot, even though CPU usage is usually around 10%. I uploaded a video to youtube and during just that it got really got. With like %15 cpu usuage. Why is it getting so hot? Any solution to this?

This is the temp at startup.

This is the temp while gaming.

After a while of gaming or uploading a video to youtube. It does get to 90 Celsius. I am using the stock thermal paste, I should probably replace it with something better.

Sorry about that. Here is the correct image. All I am running is steam and rust. No other software at the current time.

Well I plan on replacing the heatsink with something better, also I will find something that doesn't use those cheap plastic pins.
I saw a lot of recommendations for artic freeze themal paste.
I am going down to tigerdirect tomorrow to see what they have in stock.
Any recommendations?(dont get too crazy)

something seriously wrong with your temps, risking damaging your CPU with prolonged usage. Check and recheck your cooler mounting and thermal paste. My I5 only got up to 70C running a burn test at 4.4GHz. Xeon (I7) with stock intel cooler only got up to 65C and 50C with Evo 212 cooler.if you take a look closely in his screenshot, you will see that vcore is oddly high and thats what causes high temps. even reapply thermal paste or reseat the cooler wont help at all.

you need to enter the bios. when first starting, durring the splash screen press F2 or Delete to enter them. IN the bios there is a setting to lower and raise the Vcore voltage. Try setting it to 1.3 to start with and stress test with Intel Burn test and Prime 95
Kind of confusing on how this works inside the Asus Bios.
Mind helping?
