Ive got a Corsair H90 cooler, on my 3770 - non K, when running Prime torture test to check its all setup, the temp rockets upto 75 Deg C. And stays there.

On idle it drops to around 30Deg C.

It is running silent with the fans @ 35%

Rad is at the top of my New Corsair 450D, with the fan pulling through the radiator, and out the top of the case. Even with the Fan at 100% the temp only drops a few Degs.

Do the temps look correct ??
 
Prime will only torture the chip, you're better off just using the PC as you normally would and using the likes of Real Temp to monitor it. When gaming, the temps will be lower as the stress isn't anything like what Prime would put it through.

but yes, 75c seems fine :)
 
Seems about right, maybe a little warm but nothing to be concerned with. If you're overly concerned, check your voltages whilst stress testing, as some motherboards really whack the volts through at full load. Adjust in teh BIOS if required/your motherboard allows it.
 
Making a fan pull through the radiator cannot be nearly as efficient as making the fan blow through the radiator? I'd swap it so the rad is between the fan and the case and
Make the fan push through the radiator out of the case. Should be far more efficient.

Imagine putting a sponge over the end of a straw and trying to suck air through the other end. The try it the other way and blow air down the straw. I've not tried it but it has to be better the second way.
 
You could reseat the block with new thermal paste, might not be fully making contact. But 75c is fine but around 65-70c would be more like what you should expect.
