My cpu cooler it's 10 years old, and i have some problems i don't know if it's from my cpu cooler or from my thermal paste, but when i overclock my cpu (i5 4690k) to 4.7ghz cpu temp is 90 degrees but my cpu cooler is cold, shouldn't it get hot too ?

What CPU specifically? While a 10 year old cooler *can* be fine, developments over time have typically made coolers quieter, and smaller.

What kind of voltage are you pushing through the 4690K to achieve 4.7GHz? You don't want to exceed 1.3V, ideally lower for 24/7 use.
