Hi. I have a CM Hyper 212 Evo on my 4790k and while playing Watchdogs and other games, it gets to 70C and sometimes a little more. Is this good or bad? At idle it's about 32-38c. I used Antec Formula 7 as my thermal paste too.
I also live in Southern California also, so it's pretty hot right now also.

I mean those temps are not dangerous or anything... Maybe you put to much or to little thermal paste or got air bubbles in it... Might be worth it to re-do it and maybe run 5c cooler.

The ambient temps of where you live(and the summer season) are bumping up your temps. 70c give or take few is no problem for that chip.

Haswell CPU's run hotter than the previous generation, which is something to take into account.

Yeah, and every CPU is different. Besides you don't know if those other people had turbo on or not.
