Hi, I have recently bought an i7 7700k and have had my h100i v2 for a while. It has worked fine with my i7 4790k and I use artic silver 5 paste. My idle temps are around 50-55c and max temps go up to even 100c. I have tried reapplying thermal paste multiple times, which works making the idle temps go down to about 35c idle. After a few days the temps creep back to up normal hot temps. Thanks for the help.
Very hot i7 7700k with h100i v2

have you ever changed anything in BIOS? Overclocking anything? changed voltage?
Go in Bios, check the voltage on cpu that it is correct for the new cpu and not on the old cpu. I am not sure, if the MoBo changed it itself or need to reset bios when changing cpu.

tried to disable Intel Turbo Boost?
Found this guide that might help
Go into Power options **(Control panel -> Hardware and Sound -> Power Options) and click **Change plan settings near your plan
Then click on Change advanced power settings.
Scroll down to Processor power management and expand it.
Expand Maximum processor state and modify both On battery and Plugged in to 99%.
Also please make sure, that Minimum processor state is not greater than Maximum processor state (in this case - 99%), because this fix won’t work. I suggest you to set it to 5% or so.
And that’s it, no more Turbo Boost, no more overheating and if there is a need - these changes are very easy to revert. What you just did is created a limit, that prevents your laptop to go into such state, when Turbo Boost kicks in.

Get yourself a new thermal paste. Get either the coolermaster mastergel maker nano or the MX4. I personally use and recommend the coolermaster mastergel maker nano. While reapplying, clean the thermal paste completely using isopropyl alcohol 90% or higher solution. Again i want to repeat clean the arctic silver 5 completely before using new paste, there's a reason to it. Hope this solves the issue. An oh one more thing Arctic silver 5 has a burn in period of 200 hours.

Also keep an eye that the pump and fan is working properly or not all the time. Keep the corsair link running while stress testing using prime95. The corsair h100i is a very efficient cooler and you shouldn't be experiencing such high temps. And are you using the fans as intake or exhaust on the radiator?
