Is 79° celsius a safe temperature for my i7 4790k on 93.8% load when gaming, while multiple Chrome tabs open? Will it reduce CPU life in the long run? CPU is not overclocked and on stock fan. I have a gtx 1050 ti OC edition gpu with 66° celsius max temp.

The high temperature always is a.risk for chips.like cpu and gpu. If u use a liquid.fan im sire it will decrease. But over.heating.isnt for.game.always. sometimes.opening.multiple.programms.will make this bad effect on cpu
So it means.it reduces the cpu life time or maybe good performance time
I suggest u to afford an liquid fan for it

It's a safe temperature and won't harm your CPU, however It's not ideal either. Should be able to drop it below 70 degrees within the right environment and equipment but it depends on your ambient temperature (Temperature in your room and outside). Further more, depends on which CPU cooler you're using and how much you've overclocked your CPU.

As you've not overclocked your CPU and using the stock cooler, may I recommend to purchase an aftermarket cooler? That may give you the room to add a slight overclock too.
Something such as the Noctua NH-D15 or Cooler Master Hyper 212 will allow you to drop below 70c, maybe below 60c or lower. You could also add more case fans creating a positive; close to neutral or negative air pressure, more cool air in the case will assist greatly with cooling performance, and the equal amount of fans blowing the hot air out will help reduce the temperatures overall.

That's a normal temp on a stock fan, it's not high enough to be unduly worried, and liquid coolers aren't actually necessary, a cheap big air cooler will do better than non-custom liquid cooling, and custom liquid cooling is not for the faint of heart or unskilled.

remember, what the above poster said about keeping the air pressure inside the case positive, ie more air being forced into the case than being exhausted. I had an even count of fans venting in and exhausting out. When i added one more pulling air in, my temps dropped 4-5 degrees.
but also what others said about upgrading the cpu cooler - the intel cooler is way too weak to be effective on the 4790K
and last, find and download a reliable temp monitoring utility, (RealTempGT, HWmonitor) - i ran my computer using ASUS's "performance utility" and it never showed my cpu above 67C - Then i downloaded RealTemp and it showed 95 - 100C, and so did a couple of other's - i'd been rendering video files (fairly intense cpu load) for 3 months, i mean 1.5 - 3 hr rendering times, thinking my cpu was way in the safe zone, only to learn the asus utility was reporting falsely.
