Bought a 4770k off ebay, seems to be working fine but the temps are higher than I'm used to. Installed with stock copper core intel heatsink and was idling around 50 and hitting low 80's in game. Took off the cpu and replaced the thermal paste with some arctic silver. Then it seemed to idle around 40 and hits mid 70's in games. Just got done playing two and a half hours of bf1, and when I alt tabbed to check my temps it said the max was 85, which feels way too high. Never actually saw it get that hot, I don't know if temps lower when you alt tab but still freaked me out.
Is this normal for this cpu? Doesn't seem like it, is it possible i got a bad chip? Thanks for any responses.
Here is my temps right after bf1:
