Hello! I've posted here before hence "again" in the title. http://www.tomshardware.com/answers/id-2265690/4790k-high-temperatures.html
I've had temperature problems before, but they're sort of fixed because my previous CPU was faulty. I have the same set-up as indicated before, ArcticSilver 5, the Rosewill RCX-Z300 cooler, but a new i7-4790K processor. My ambient/simple task temps are about 27C-33C depending on my room temperature. I run the Prime95 test and I get 90C average after 1 minute with Small FFTs and 80C average with Blend after 1-2 minutes. Are these temperatures normal or do I need to reseat my cooler and re-apply thermal paste using a different method(I used the pea method)?
I used RealTemp and HWMonitor to record my temperatures; they both showed the same results. I also underclocked the Turbo Boost to 4.2GHz to give the processor cooler temps, 4.4GHz just increases them by ~5C.
Thank you.
