I recently tried switching to performance mode for more fps on WoW, however i noticed my cpu temps were very high(mid 80s-90c). I was running on balanced power setting before this and averaging 66c (these are all with stock cooler). When i switched back to Balance i noticed my temps were still extremely high when idle. I am not good with this stuff and not sure what to do. I am not oc'd. I switched to power saver mode and am in the mid 30c average idle. http://prntscr.com/cijebv this is my current idle on power saving. http://prntscr.com/cijep2 and this is balanced power setting idle. this all started happening this morning when i tried out performance.

It sounds obvious, but make sure the four plastic push-pins that hold the CPU cooler in didn't pop out of the motherboard.
The stock cooler is your problem. To tame the beast that is the 4790k, you require a aftermarket cooler. I know from personal experience using the I7 4790k. The temps on mine reached the very same temp range while gaming with the wimpy stock cooler. I switched to a Be Quiet Shadow Rock Slim and temps drop anywhere from 10-25 degrees cooler depending on the game.
