Before I start, I will just disclose all my spec for ref.
CASE: thermaltale urban s31
CPU: i5-4690k
MOBO: z97mx-gaming 5
RAM: Adata 2133Mhz
STORAGE: HDD 3TB 7200rpm & SSD Samsung evo 850 500GBs
PSU: cooler Master G750m
Cooling:
1. fans 2top2front1rear(Enermax TwisterPressure)
2. Gpu id-cooling close loop water cooler(240radiator at the front)
3. cpu game demon close loop water cooler(240radiator on top)
After disclosing all the specs, actually I have trouble to keep my cpu cool while playing GTA5 @4.5ghz and with full graphics on.
I am able to keep the idleing temp @28-32. is that my airflow is not sufficent to transfer heat out from the radiator? btw I play@100%fan speed and I'm using Gigabyte easy tuning to 4.5Ghz which always boosting my cpu voltage to 1.28-1.3V . one thing is very discouraging is people using CoolerMaster Hyper 212 still better than mine(just by reviewing those benchmarks).
There are few things that come to my concern.
1. overall we shouldn't overclock that much
2. is that theres cover in front of my intake fans that causing less cool air in the case
3. is that because im using China crab while my chinese Id-cooling is doing fine.
4. is that I have too many radiators for a mid-tower case
5. or just my hardware are too extreme?(Which I doubted)

You didn't state your load temperatures you are seeing...can you post those?

Airflow is likely the issue. A cooler cannot perform its duty without cool air to work with. Also, I am assuming that there is not an issue with dust or dirt clogging intakes or radiators on the coolers. If it is, thoroughly clean and retest. If they are clean, continue on.

This simple test will help you identify where your issue lies-

Open the side of your case. Use a desk or box fan to blow air into the case at the highest speed setting. See if your temperatures improve.

If temperatures improve, you have an airflow problem.

If temperatures do not improve, you have a lack of cooling power on the components that remain too hot.

A good place to start is turning down the clock speed on the CPU and see what happens.

Also are you the 2 top and rear fans fitted the right way? Are they blowing warm are OUT of the case of cold are INTO the case?
