hi I just got the i7 4790k and when I'm playing games and stuff that puts some load on it the temperatures sit in the mid to high 70s in celcius. and the clock is 4.4 ghz, when idle its around 30-40 celcius and 4 ghz. is this normal and good stats or what?

"The maximum junction temperature on Ivy Bridge was 105C but Intel reduced that a bit for Haswell, don't remember if it was 98C ot 102C but if you are going to overclock, you obviously do not want to get anywhere near that.
80C is a generally safe core temperature but at the upper end of what most overclockers feel comfortable with.
Less than 70C core temperature under load is a safe area many OCers like to be in - very low likelihood of causing any damage to the chip.
The 72C you read is the max package (IHS) temperature"~InvalidError
In short, the mid 70s you have are fine, as are the idle temps. if you were in the mid 80-90s I would start to worry. Personally, I think I idle over night around 26-30 on my 4790k. I haven't OCed yet but I don't think I've hit 65* underload on the CPU (GPU peaked at 72 once). I haven't had my cam software up in a few weeks to watch it though.

If under 70ºC you cpu is totaly safe...
