Hi,
In my system I have an i7-4790k at stock speed that is cooled by an h80i gt. When I use Open Hardware Monitor, I see idle temperatures around 32-36 degrees. But when I stress the CPU using AIDA64, the temperatures rocket to ~70 degrees. In AIDA64, if I check the box of "Stress FPU" and un-check all the others, it shows CPU Is Throttling - Overheating Detected and the temperature hits at a whopping 100 degrees. I've tried many times to replace the thermal compound with different techniques but nothing seems to be working. Even though in AIDA64 the CPU temperature is 70 when I stress the CPU, when I'm in a game(H1Z1), I alt tab and I can see in Open Hardware Monitor that the CPU temps max is ~80 and the h80i gt corsair logo turns red(later noticed).
I believe these temperatures aren't safe nor good. Should I be concerned? I'm not quite sure if it's a software problem, hardware problem, liquid cooler problem, or case air flow problem.
