How are my Temps? i5-4760k CPU

[airrrforceones]

When I open up my temp monitor my min and max temps are pretty much the same. Why is this happening? By the way I have WoW running in the background as I took this picture.

Monitor your temps while you play a more demanding game. See what happens

The min displays the lowest the temps have been, and the max shows the maximum those temps have been its that simple. Use something like prime95 and run it and see your max temps go up.

Oh ok. I just OC'ed to 4.2 and I ran intel burn test and my core temps got to a 79-85 max temp but it finished the whole test. Are these good temps to max out at when running this test?

Those tests are rather high, I personally am not comfortable with anything over the low 60s. Are you using the stock intel cooler, or something aftermarket?

Either:
you're using stock cooler
or
the processor's paste (the die to metal plating) is real bad

I don't really know the rest

I'm using an aftermarket cooler, Hyper Evo 212. Although I do recall that when I applied the thermal paste I used the pellet method and it seemed to be more on the left side of the cpu when I applied it so could that be the problem? Do I just need to reapply the thermal paste?

I believe the paste he is referring to is between the CPU die and the heat spreader. Has wells run hot at the best of times. If your ok with 85 max load under stress test then you are likely fine you will most likely see 60 or 65 degrees in games anyway. Even 85 degrees would only be bad if it were for extended periods of time. Haswells max design temperature is somewhere in the 90 to 110 degree range.

If the CPU is new, give it some time to "Burn in" my 4770k cooled off by 10 degrees at my 4.2 ghz oc over the first week I ran it.

Exactly, You have 3 options:
-Buy new Procie and dump the old one
-Return to sender(intel)
-DIY paste (a bit hard, and it voids your warranty, but you can apply the best paste on the die
