CPU fan spinning, but doing nothing.

[Javahooch]

My CPU is an i5-4690k with the default heatsink and fan.
Hello all, my CPU fan is doing diddly squat. According to RealTemp, I reach 208 degrees F, or 98 degrees C, AT IDLE. I can look in my case through some fan holes and see that it is indeed running. When I ran a 3DMark Skydiver test, I think I maxed RealTemp out at 212 degrees F, or 100 degrees C.
Is my fan a lost cause? Do I need an aftermarket cooler? My 3DMark physics score never reaches 2500 because of this, and I can't even play Skyrim, my favorite game, without constant fps drops.
EDIT: It's now, when at 0.5% load, getting to about 70 C. I had to turn the fan speed to max in the BIOS settings and take off a side of the case.
I can feel the airflow around my CPU, and it isn't hot coming out of the heatsink. I lick my finger and put it next to it, and it's not 70 C air, it actually feels rather cool. My room temperature is around 72 F.
Edit2: I ordered a Coolermaster Hyper 212 EVO, it fit in my Corsair 200r case, and I have no problems. My physics score in 3DMark over tripled, so my stock cooler was just bad. The clips all malfunctioned, so I got no contact with the CPU, explaining all the phenomena I experienced.
TL;DR: High temps, low physics score, DOA heatsink, Coolermaster Hyper 212 EVO saved the day.

Connect the CPU fan straight to the power supply. If it runs OK then you need to check your motherboard. If not then replace the fan.

Stock CPU cooler? Try a Coolermaster Hyper 212 evo instead.

I don't know how to plug it in to my PSU. I have an EVGA 500B. I found a port with the four prongs my fan plug has, but it seems to be missing the insert which goes inside the channel. should I plug it in there?

You can't plug the stock CPU fan directly into the PSU. If the temps are that high then the cooler isn't installed correctly. Ensure all four push-pins are fully seated. The pins should be turned the OPPOSITE direction as the arrows. The arrows show which direction to turn the pins to release the cooler.

I'll try that when I get home later today. Whoever's responsible for not writing that on the box should be fired...
Or maybe it's just me

Here's a good article on installing the Intel CPU and HSF:

Hi all, I'm OP, and I've ordered a Coolermaster Hyper 212 EVO, due to arrive tomorrow. I'll see how that works.

My Coolermaster Hyper 212 EVO saved the day! My stock heatsink's clips were faulty, so I got no contact to the chip. The chip doesn't seem to have been damaged. I highly recommend this to anyone with this problem who may see this in the future.

Nice to hear a happy ending.
