I've build my own pc.
My i7 4790k seems to run hot on the corsair hydro h60
idle temps 40 - 42 °c
on prime95 instant 100°c
playing farcry 4 it can easy reach 70°c

i've taken some pictures from my bios.
i tought it could be the voltages.
but im a noob at voltages, and i don't want to try something on my own when i'm not sure what i'm doing.
thx in advance, you can ask me for more information.

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...

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.
