I build this pc at the beginning of the year and it was my first build. It's been running great until recently I've been having framerate issues playing CS:GO and learned that the CPU is overheating.

I haven't done any overclocking, everything is at its default.

Specs
i7 4770k
sabertooth z87
H100i
corsair Tx 850
geforce gtx 760
arc midi r2
Corsair Vengeance Red 16GB (2x8GB) DDR3 1600 MHz

I turned on prime95 and took a screenshot, i'm not exactly sure what i'm doing but i wanted to get a screenshot. My temps 58 right now, but its been all over the place, i was looking in my bios and it was saying that it was 87 and all i was running was the bios.

I read that voltage can cause the cpu to over heat, but my voltage was at .8 during the small prime95 test.

I think my h100i might not be working properly or its not stuck on correctly, but i wanted to check to make sure it wasn't anything else before i take it apart.

Use Prime95 version 26.6 - http://windows-downloads-center.blogspot.com/2011/04/prime95-266.html

Your Core temperatures will be 20C lower.

Core i 2nd, 3rd and 4th Generation CPU's have AVX (Advanced Vector Extension) instruction sets. Recent versions of Prime95 run AVX code on the Floating Point Unit (FPU) math coprocessor, which produces unrealistically high temperatures. The FPU test in the software utility AIDA64 shows the same results.

It's not necessary to run AVX code for thermal testing. Prime95 v26.6 produces temperatures on 3rd and 4th Generation processors more consistent with 2nd...

I changed the thermal paste, I put on Artic Silver 5 and i'm idling at 63C. I still not sure how to check if the pump is getting 12v, i'll keep looking though.

Prime95 v26.6 produces temperatures on 3rd and 4th Generation processors more consistent with 2nd Generation, which also have AVX instructions, but do not suffer from thermal extremes due to having a soldered Integrated Heat Spreader and a 35% larger Die.
