alright so i have my 4790k overclocked to 4.7ghz,and ive noticed while rendering videos the temps get as high as about 70-75c is that normal temps? should i back off the overclock a little?

Yes, however, Core temperatures are more important than Package temperature. Use Real Temp 3.7.

Regardless, There may be an issue with your case ventilation or cable management.

Just as you suspected, I agree that it would be better to back it down to 4.6. This should allow you to reduce Vcore to about 1.210, which should in turn drop your rendering temperatures by 6 to 8C. If you then repeat Prime 95 v26.6 Small FFT's, I think you'll see the Core temperatures drop by about 8 to 10C.

Big difference. 75F is approximately 24C.

Standard Ambient is 22C, which is the value upon which Intel's Thermal Specifications are based, so you're close. We need to run a proper thermal test so we can get a benchmark of your temperatures. Rendering video doesn't give us temperature values that we can use for a meaningful comparison.

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

Please do not run the default test "Blend". Run only Small FFT's for 10 minutes, then we'll have a valid thermal benchmark.
