Blame intel for using bad thermal grease and not solder...
Want to improve the temps?
First make sure that you have not seated the waterblock badly to the CPU and that you have not used to mutch thermal grease.
If you have done all correct and temps are still bad...
The you have to delid the cpu and apply liquid metal straight on the cpu die.

Is that temperature seen when the processor is under load when stress testing or when gaming? If so what sort of application are you using to tax the system/processor? On another note, we're going to need to know the rest of your system's specs. List them like so:
CPU:
Motherboard:
Ram:
SSD/HDD:
GPU:
Chassis:
PSU:
OS:
LumineZ,
The i7 Kabylake K suffixed processors suffered the temperature issue with the bad thermal grease. The i7-6700K was better for overclocking at regulated voltages.

I know that the 6700k got better temps than the 7700k but keep in mind that the 6700k - 7700k both have the same thermal interface material. Also the reason why many people decides to delid both the 6700k and the 7700k.
BUT! There is a but here.
Not ALL 6700k - 7700k are the same. Some are behaving pretty well under overclocks and volt bumps, some ( like mine ) are not behaving very nice at all.
So I am not saying that ALL should delid. I am only saying that the ones that are experiencing high temps under stock or OC settings should consider a delid.
A buddy of mine delided his 6700k after he did see the temprature gains I had on my 7700k and he gaines around 17 degree celcius. I had even a bigger gain. I went from 92C to a max of 61C - 62C @ 5GHz.
But I can only speak from my own experience with what I have seen. And from what I see other post about tempratures on the 6700k

Valid point. Problem is still there with the Z270 boards and the reason for that is because that it is the motherboard manufacturer to set volts now and not intel, and the motherboard manufacturer sets the volts high by default to make sure the CPU`s that gets put into the socket will work.
Belive on the Z170 - Z270 boards that default Vcore is set to 1.408 under load if I remember correct. And that is to high

So you delid a 300+/- USD processor out of the box for the sake of...?
Our "but" here is that we go through a checklist before we suggest the outrageous to any end user be it novice or an expert. jpe1701's post was the sort of bearing I has heading for to find out about the higher temps. I wonder what you'd be doing if you found out higher ambient temps were causing the i7's to be at those range's...delid?
Depending on what case was used to build the system around as well as the airflow within said case, that can also translate to some temperature shifts.

Not trying to step on anyone`s toes here...
Where did I write that I did delid a 300+/- USD cpu out of the box?
I would never ever suggest someone to delid without testing the cpu out first to see how it behaves. Doing that would to be honest be pretty stupid since you would not have a base line to compare with in the first place.
And for an i7 6700k at stock setting to be at high 70`s even if it was delided and stock volts? I would say that either the cpu cooling was not up to par, the caseflow is next to none or set up in sutch a way that the hot air would circulate in the case only building heat over time.
To mutch or to little TIM + incorrect seating of the cpu cooler.
Quad SLI open air 1080ti`s in a mini case.
Volts are off the charts.
Or your ambient air is compared to a cooking oven.
If it was delided one could also have applyed the new TIM wrong.
If it was not delided then it could happen that the TIM was applyed wrong at the factory.
Besides that it could also be that the cpu is damaged in some way or that the motherboard is damaged.
But to state a fact. 6700k`s and 7700k`s same with some of the i9 cpu`s have some thermal problems and no one can deny that.
So with this in mind from what I have seen I would say a good 75 - 80% of the people that experience temprature problems on one of the cpu`s listed it is down to bad TIM from intel. And swapping that to liquid metal fixes the problem.
That is offcourse if everything else is in order.
Normaly it is the bad TIM`s fault.

I just spotted today that whilst the rated electrical power of a 7700k is 91W, the recommended thermal solution is 130W (vs 65W for the 7600k), so they knew it was a toasty CPU, i'd expect that the H60 is simply undersized at that point then.
