Been running Aida64 for the last hour (CPU, Cache, and Memory test) and temps max out at 70 and average around 65 degrees @ 4.3ghz 1.2v, Stock voltage for me was 1.180 so shouldn't the temperatures be a bit lower? Idle temps are ~35ish as well. I thought at around stock voltage I'd see temps in the low to mid 50's. Already remounted the cooler once and still the same.
 
Solution
the H100i is slightly better the a high end air cooler. When you remounted the cooler did you clean the paste off and put new on? Even with new paste if you mount the block and pull it right back off it then mount it again it will trap small air bubbles in the paste giving you bad cooling temps.


Also when gaming your cpu will never be running at 100% all the time so your temps will be lower then running a stress test. You might get a little lower temps if you run a push pull on the radiator for max air flow through it.

Yes, I cleaned the paste off the cooler block as well as the cpu heatsink, reapplied with arctic silver and getting the same temperatures, do they sound normal or too high? I probably should have mentioned that I'm using SP120 Quiet Edition PWM fans but have them running 100%.
