I have a 4790k and while playing battlefield 4 it's is hitting max temps of 82c, is that no far to high, i have an enthoo luxe case with 200mm fan as intake and 2 140mm fans outtake at the top and 1 120mm fan at the back as outtake with a be quiet dark rock pro 2 on the cpu, any thoughts would be great, all i have done in the bios is change the stock voltage to 1.151 and set the cores at 4.4

Just reverted bios back to absolute stock apart from xmp profile on memmory and i am hitting 82c constantly, my i7 4770k was clocked at 4.4 and never went over 64c with this exact same cooler and that was in a rubbish case, wow

room temp of 30c

it hits 82c at stock settings though, surly that is far to high with a dark rock pro 2, iv been reading about and people have been hitting 64c tops, really don't know what the hell is going on
 
volts are fine, at stock they never go over 1.23 i think, i will try redoing the heatsync and thermal paste, if their are no changes then the chip is going back for sure, i think it's the tim on the chip, makes me want to delid it to see if im right :/
 
re-seated everything and now im getting max 72c in battlefield 4 overclocked to 4.6ghz at 1.235 volts, although occt and prime raise the temp to a max of 87c which is quite high but will never reach those tempos in any game so i think ill leave it at that, failing that i may de-lid the chip, my chip was manufactured in Malaysia in 2014 :/ would have been nice to receive a 2015 model tbh instead of old stock :(

my temps still remain around 45c at idle which is driving me insane, it even idles at that when using stock volts and undervolting the cpu, grrrrrr

talk about silicon lottery
 
what mobo you using newboy as your idle temps are way lower than mine, must be a setting in the bios, i shall wait for a asus bio update i think :(, it should not be 42c at idle - no way

using mx 4 paste
