I7-2600k runnig at 70c when computer is at 100%

Is my computer running too hot when cpu reaches 100%

That depends.

What is your ambient temperature?
Are you using the stock Intel heat sink or an aftermarket one?
Are you overclocking, or is that temp at stock speed?

I am using stock heatsink with artic mx-4 thermal paste and its overclocking the cpu by .7 GHz. I am running the cpu at 4.1GHz with turbo boost on

That's not to high for the stock heatsink.

Should i use my cooler master NF52 instead? or that won't do much?
