Ok i just got a new rig it is a month old and i am not able to run prime 95 more the 5 mins as my cpu will reach 99c and it idles between 40 to 44c i have reseated the cpu cooler and reapplied thermal paste twice i am using asetek lclc water cooler and arctic mx 4 as the Thermal compound, i tried delidding the cpu and reapply thermal paste on the die it self but i cut my thumb open with a raiser blade and i am not able to remove the integrated heat spreader, bump and rad fan is working fine. Any help would be greatly appreciated.
Please help new i74770k @3.7ghz idel 44c load 99c

by attempting to delid and failing you may have created an air gap between the cpu die and heatspreader.
this could be a problem.

it was at early stage the adhesive is so strong and the razer blade didn't go under the lid so i decided after my thumb cut I changed my mind and put every thing back as it was, plus the reading on the temps not change as temps is the same like before i try to delid the cpu, keep in mind that the under load temps when i used prime 95 at stock cpu configration it exeeded 90 C max 99C
here is a youtube link i also uploaded the issue on youtube: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=AN_5p2k0YG8 , in that video idle temps is 36 due ambient temperature is around 15c normaly if it is around 20 to 25 it will idle at 40 to 42c.
UPDATE i delided my cpu today and applied artic mx 4 on the die and above the IHS and started my pc and actually it is worse ,idle temps is 44C and under load is 100C do any body know what did i do wrong?, i am sure the cooler is mounted correctly, or maybe wait a little bit and see, because i was reading that artic mx4 have a cure time but i don't know how long.
ok i guess my issue is resolved i figured out what i did "wrong" when applying thermal paste on the die using artic mx 4 the grain of rice method and then spread it didn't work, i reapplied the thermal paste using the line method then put the IHS without spreading, then a made sure the cooler is installed properly, then i fired it up here is the tricky part though it almost fooled me idle temps will be the same but load temps are much better i7 4770k stock speed running prime 95 for an hour max temps is 86C so i got a 14 to 15C temp drop at full load after i delided my cpu using the vice method, thank you all for your help, bottom line deliding the CPU is a peace of mind.
after testing for 2-3 days temps are stable max temps are 85 running prime 95 for 30min @ stock speed no cpu throttling after deliding please keep in mind that i have searched my "water cooler" and it is a entry level (aseteck 510lc) so with a high end cooler like corsair h80i i should see much better temps especially after deliding the cpu, so the 90C to 99C temps are gone, issue is resolved.
I take all i said back about deliding cpu is a peace of mind 
, after a week i have to reapply TIM again after discovering that artic mx4 deteriorates and it is NO GOOD between CPU die and IHS, i ordered coollaboratory pro TIM and i am waiting for it
