Your stock clock temperatures (or atleast mine were, ~20c ambient) ~23-24c idle and ~50 normal load. However your temps will change greatly if you decide to overclock, and with a setup like that you really should. :p

On a overclocked i7 4770k, idle is around 34 celcius, while on prime95 around 78 celcius, while on Aida64 its around 66 celcius.

You could get after market fans to increase cooling
Hope this helped you :)

It's hard to say exactly what your temperatures will be as they will differ between different examples of the same chip - you may have a hot one, or you may have a really good one that runs really cool even when heavily overclocked.

My advice with a 4670K would be to get the best cooler you can afford, as you don't want your cooling solution holding back your overclock.

That said the H100i is a really good cooler - there are few better, you should be fine with it, and I would expect it to keep your chip under 70degreesC even under load overclocked - that's what it is designed to do after all (provided you have it set up in a case with a sensible airflow)

I've heard good things about the Kraken coolers, that they compare favourably with the Corsair coolers, but I have not used them myself. If I were to be building a new PC today, I would be considering them

You might also consider the Corsair H80i (I have one, it's great) or the new Corsair H105
