Specs: i7-4790k, gtx 970 g1 gaming, 16gb ddr3 1600mhz, Asus z97-a, Define R5, SuperNova G2 850w.
So I just recently purchased this CPU and when I run prime 95 torture test (loading all cores 100%) I get temps that are waaaaaaaay to high for my likings, ~Average temp: 95* Celisus.
When I load the CPU 50% I get temps of like 90*C which kind of sucks.
I have tried reseating the cooler 3 times and I'm using arctic mx-4 thermal paste for it.
Now I'm wondering, is this a bad chip or something else? Can I just say, buy a hyper 212 evo which would improve my temperatures? I really don't know what to do... The voltage is fine in 100% load (1.18 something) and in idle it's like 0.7, And as far as I know my BIOS is the latest update.
EDIT: I have not overclocked or downclocked the processor one bit.
