Question i7-4790K is running too hot ?

[artyily]

Hey there,

I want to overclock my 4790K but with no overclock it runs around 80C under 100% load.
The cooler is a: Hyper TX3 EVO

Could it be a bad installation that is causing the high temps or I just need a better cooler?

What is the load you are using to check temps?
And more importantly is that load what you are trying to overclock for?!

I mean it doesn't matter what temps you get in prime95 if the only thing you do is to game on the system.

I used MSI Kombustor's cpu burner. I just figured if I have good temps at a 100% I won't have any problems during gaming.
