Hey everyone! This is my first Toms Hardware post!

I have an h100i and i just recently got an i5 4690k yesterday. Im on to the overclocking stage now and i have achieved 4.5ghz on 1.2v. For whatever reason when i run prime the temps jump to 80+C and i have Noctua nf-p12s in push pull on max rpms on the radiator and Im sure the pump is on etc. My idles are also acceptable the CPU idles at about 33c. Im really dissapointed with the h100i if this is all it brings to the table...

Does anyone know whats up with this device and how i can fix this?

EDIT: Temps in prime are 80+ Temps in OCCT Hover around 75!

There's nothing to fix, that seems about right for the cooling capacity of the h100. Also, and correct me if I'm wrong, but aren't 4th gen i7s really bad overclockers due to crap thermal paste inside the cpu?

I thought that devils canyon thermal material was supposedly fixing that issue

Im putting in a custom loop in a few months, how many degrees will that shave off of these temps potentially?

Depends, really. Are you completely certain that your OC settings are optimized that you are using the lowest voltage and settings required in order to maintain stability without adding additional heat? That will be the greatest determination of how well any cooler performs with an overclocked processor.
