i7 4790k H100i 45c on idle?

Solution
Try using OCCT to test. It uses instructions that are more normal.
If you pass OCCT, and have no problems with games, do not bother.
I think 4.5 @1.15 shows a very good chip. You can up the voltage to perhaps 1.3v for better stability if you need to.
I would leave it as is.

I'm not sure. This PC was recently given by my brother who upgraded his PC. I think i solved it, I just changed the thermal paste then temps were around 35-40c. OC'd at 4.5 ghz @1.15v

Yea i got lucky i guess. Also, I get BSoD when running prime95. But when just gaming I don't get any BSoD. I also tried the CPU stress test on Aida64 and i had no issue so far. But when i FPU stress it automatically BSoD's.
