4790K overheating ?

[salgrign]

I recently build my system with the following specs:

1.Intel Core i7 4790k
2.NZXT Kraken x60 cooler
3.Asus Sabertooth z97 Mark 2
4.Corsair Vengeance 1600Mhz 16GB RAM
5.Asus Geforce 660Ti
6.Samsung EVO SSD 250GB
7.Corsair RM850 PSU

the CPU is fine in default settings idle temp is around 27 C and on load 64 C. But when I change to "Asus Optimal" settings in BIOS and try to load the CPU, the temp shoots up to 98 C. I don't know is it the problem of the mobo or am I doing something wrong ?

You gotta reinstall it bigtime, clean all theold paste off and reapply paste

I have reapplied the thermal paste many times with Artic Alumina, re seated the cooler, checked the backplate still no luck

Are you sure the liquid didn't leak out? unless the sensors are bad but that doesn't seem to be the case. try the stock fan to check the sensors.

Try lowering the voltage manually. Are you using to much thermal paste?

I am sorry there are no deffinate answers here but just some troubleshooting

Hmm .. I'll give it a try again by re applying thermal paste, re seating the cooler checking the backplate and will report back with the outcome.
