High I7-4770k temperatures

[Osongar]

I recently built a computer for gaming, and I feel just benchmarked itfor the first time. In Cinebench my I7-4770k reached exactly 100Celcius on all 4 cores. I thought this seemed incredibly high. I'm using the stock cooler, but it is not over clocked and I have six case fans.
After this I booted up Skyrim on Ultra at 144fps and played for about fifteen minutes. After checking, all four cores had maxed at 100 celcius again and fluctuated in the 80's/90's. is this normal?
My build:
I7-4770k
EVGA gtx770
16gb g.skill sniper RAM
Corsair 500r case
Samsung 840 pro ssd

Don't know if it's"normal", but I have seen an average of one post a day for the last two weeks about high temps from 4770 k's, in situations where they should not be running nearly that hot. Though the rest of your build seems of high quality, so I wonder why you did not get a good cooler with the chip.
Maybe have a look in the Intel overclocking forums and see what is happening for people with that chip. May get some more answers there.

I have a water cooler on the way, the first one was damaged. I was just fearful that the temperatures were unnaturally high.

Yes, it is high.
But, the intel cooler is not that great either.
100c is about the limit before throttling.
Use cpu-Z to see what your voltage is. If it is 1.2 or higher, or you see a high multiplier under load, you have some sort of an inadvertent overclock.
That happens when you set a bios to "optimized defaults" or something similar.
