A customer bright their PC into my shop with stuttering issues in rFactor, on checking the temps in IBT they're knocking on the door of 100c! With a be quiet tower cooler.

This is a pre-overclocked bundle they got from somewhere with the CPU at 4.2ghz and the vcore at 1.35v, isn't that a little high for the air cooler?
 
I believe is a pure rock, the way the heatsink mounts doesn't seem particularly great as the bolts once tightened don't seem to apply much pressure, the heatsink of the cooler didn't seem to get that warm either.

It's been reseated.
