CPU overheating?? 100C

[Omgitzmeace]

I just installed an i7-4771 into my computer and it booted up no problem then about 30 seconds after getting to my desktop it shut down. Not an exact quote but you'll get the just " we're sorry but something went wrong we will shut down and restart for you" it never restarted btw.. I turned it on and went to the bios and checked out my CPU YouTube links to follow. The fan is on and seated properly. I turned it to max power but the CPU was still staying super hot holding around 100c. I didn't use any insulation gel but is that really going to drop it 30c!?!? Doubt it. I have some on order because I'm sure that's going to be the first response. I had an i5 4460. My CPU says it's 1150 socket and it says it can handle i7s on.the Newegg description. Thoughts!?!
I don't know what CPU I have because Neweggs pictures don't reflect what's in my case. For instance the image shows 2 ram slots and I have 4... buuuut here is what they say I have

ASRock H81M-HDS MB
I've got 20gb Ram
GTX 980 wind force

I tried to take pictures to show all of my wiring because its possible things are in the wrong place but it started normal the fans ran and the only issue I see is the CPU temp.

I mean I don't know what mother board I have

In your video it appears you are using a stock heat sink and fan from Intel. Those can be pretty bad, but if it came with the CPU, it should be adequate for normal usage. If it is not the stock cooler that came with the CPU, it may be inadequate for the task. They come in different sizes. All unused Intel stock coolers should have a soft pad on the underside of the heat sink where it interfaces with the heat spreader of the CPU. If this was the first time that heat sink has been used, it shouldn't need any "insulation gel" as you put it. I suspect what you are talking about is heat sink compound, which doesn't insulate unless misused, it's point being to increase heat transfer between the mating surfaces. Once the heat sink has been used, it's recommended all of the now used thermal interface material be cleaned off using isopropyl alcohol and paper towel or some other cleaning cloth (some people prefer coffee filters,) and new interface material, usually heat sink compound, be applied.

A decent aftermarket cooler would certainly improve temperatures over Intel stock coolers, but in your case, those temperatures make me wonder if the cooler is even seated properly. No cooler is going to fix that.

I am going to get some thermal paste and a new heatsink today from Fry's electronics. Will update you tonight. I got an evercool hpr-9225ep. It seems to be pretty beefy.. Hope all works well.



All is well. Running at 31c now that I have the thermal paste and new heat sink.
