No matter what I do the temps on my i7 4790k are above 99 degrees Celsius. I reapplied thermal paste and it did not change the temps what so ever. The computer has been working fine for months, I even replaced the fans and it did not help. Also all the other temps are fine it is just the CPU that is crazy high even at idle its above 99 Celsius.

100%, but I just tried it this morning and the temps are back to normal so I guess it was just a freak thing.

Ive got a cooler master eisberg, from my coolant inspection window it appears that there are particles floating around, my suspicion was that they plugged my water block and caused me the same problems you had. Keep an eye on you cooler, towel drying a mobo is not a good feeling.
