I have a devil's canyon 4790k overclocked with Intel Extreme Tuning Utility over clocked to 4.6 GHz ( 100MHz x 46 ) on a MSI Z97 PC MATE mobo (MS-7850), that is cooled by an H100i with the radiator fans running at 80%. I have a GTX 980 reference card installed. This is all housed in an Phantex Enthoo Pro case.

At Idle, I get around 42C-52C ( Pretty high for idle ).
When attempting to run a stress test (CPU-Z and Intel ETU) my temperatures skyrocket to 90C almost instantly and then steadily rise from there. I've tried to let it run for a few seconds to see if the temps were just bugged out and needed a second to fall down, that was not the case, it kept steadily rising, so I would immediately stop the stress test. This happens in a matter of seconds of starting a stress test. Even when reverting the overclock and going to default, the temperatures were basically the same.
I've even gone to the extent of replacing my thermal paste and ensuring it's spread the thinnest I could do.
My ambient temperatures should be out of the way. My PC is placed in my gaming room which is located in my basement and nearly has a constant temp of 63F.
Should I delid the processor and replace the thermal paste?
Thoughts please.
