Why is it running so hot i didn't even OC? is my CPU dying???? Does anyone know the TIM is Arctic Silver 5

It definitely sounds like you have a problem, that's a fairly large radiator to be getting those temps. There's a number of things that could be at fault here, the most likely being incorrect thermal paste application. What method did you use to apply the paste (how much and how)?

Either the cooler was not installed properly or you used too much or too little thermal paste. Or you have a defective H110i the first two possibilities are far more likely.
