So i have an i5-4690k on an asus 97 board and it idles at around 25c.

When I installed the coolermaster evo cooler, I got everything on there tight, but if I twist the heat sink it'll wiggle a bit, but makes contact and I coppied what a guy did on youtube.

Running prime 95 on blend, after about 5-10 minutes of the cpu running at 4.5ghz, the temps slowly climb up. I shut of prime 95 via task manager when I saw 1 core go up to 90c.

Is this normal. when it was at 90c I touched the heatsink and it was warm but more on the cool side.

Definitely steer clear of automatic overclocking, the settings it uses are too generic. Have a read through some overclocking guides and learn how to adjust CPU voltage, as that will affect CPU temperature the most.

Also bear in mind that the 212 Evo is a good cooler but it's far from the best, and it's definitely not suitable for high overclocks.

Don't EVER use automatic overclocks. If you're already voiding warranty, at least do it safe and stable instead of getting a program or oc feature to overvolt and melt your cpu on same or lower clock speeds that you'd achieve manually.

With that CPU heatsink combo, I reccomend dropping to 4.2 Ghz and set the voltage to 1.1v and slowly raise it untill stable. Leaving the voltage on auto can add up to 400mv to your CPU which is extremely dangerous particularly with stress test software that can fudge around with the voltage even more. Auto Overclocking on Asus motherboards occasionally works well but only if you control the voltage yourself.
Don't worry about the warranty warnings though, Asus covers their auto overclocking features, and intel covers overclocking failures (within reason) on all K and extreme edition CPU's. Allow me to be more precise as that sounded very liberal. I mean that under normal conditions with average setups. Meaning the top on that cpu they will cover is 4.6GHz w/water, and 4.5GHz on air, and voltage never exceeding 1.43v. So if you went for 5GHz on nitro your SOL.
