Hi there, I built a new rig a few weeks ago and it has the 4790k processor, I had some heating problems with it before but I thought that it was because of the stock cooler (the cpu got to throttling temps while rendering a 2 min clip). Now I have the Noctua NH-U12S for a few days the rendering sits at 70 (temps are in celsius 
) now but there is no way I can possibly let prime85 running more than 5 mins even on small ffts because it hits 90 degrees and I really don't feel comfortable with that, should I ? I don't even try the large maximum heat ffts because it hits 90 degrees instantly. The idle temp is arround 40 degrees and when I play games it sits arround 65-70, another thing I noticed is that the temps usually spike for 3 to 5 degrees sometimes. The cpu is not overclocked at all and is running a 1.23 vcore voltage ( it can run 1.2 fine but it doesn't impact heat so why bother with any crashes).
To sum things up my questions are:
Is it normal for the 4790k to not be able to run prime95 with the Noctua NH-U12S ?
If it is not normal what mistake(s) did I do ? ( I am not perfect by any means, to be honest I consider myself a noob )
