Hey, my i7 6700K gets quite hot while gaming 80-90C. I have a h100i V2, water is flowing and its sitting at about 60C. It has no overclock and it is running on base clock not turbo boost. Ambient Temp: 24-26C. Any advice would be helpful as I don't want to fry my rig, thanks!

EDIT: Had PC for about a year now, re-seated cooler and it helped temps a stay steady, but it is still hot.

Voltages:
CPU: Auto (1.25-1.3)
SA: 1.25
IO: 1.25
PLL OC: 1.2
DRAM: 1.36
PCH: 1.0
ST PLL: 1.0

Hey is this build new or have you had this for a while?
If its new i'd suggest reseating your cooler as it might not have a good thermal connection.
If the build isn't new you should try to re apply thermal paste as these temperatures are very unusual especially for a chip on water.

try setting your cpu voltage (vcore) to manual or adaptive (better IMO) in you mobo bios and lower it a bit. I have the same cpu on an ASUS mobo and the board was over voltaging my cpu to 1.35v and temps were spiking to 95-100º. I set the vcore to adaptive 1.185v and problem solved, temps lowered to 60-65º @ stock. your experience may vary. hope this helps

I did this yesterday and I saw the cooler improve a bit, temps don't get quite as high but still getting 80-90. Build is old.
