[SOLVED] i7 4790k problems

[sparkeeh]

Hi,

i was checking my cpu temps and saw my cpu was hitting 100c as soon as i ran almost any game.
First off, everything is stock, i didn't overclock and i don't intend to. Also i did reapply thermal paste.

After some digging i updated bios and temps got lower, however windows kept crashing (BSOD 0x00000101) and after disabling XMP was stable until i ran a game. When i run a game, pc freezes after few minutes and i get an error 0x00000124. I manually upped voltage from stock 1.192 to 1.27. Now the pc is stable but the processor is hitting 100c again.

So i think it has something to do with voltage, but i don't know why it would crash when everything was set to default.

Motherboard: Gigabyte Z97X Gaming 3

Any help would be appreciated.

Although not all cpu are equal, my i7 4790k I have it set manually at a frequency of 44x with a manual fixed voltage of 1.140v, and also I usually put it manually at 40x with a fixed voltage of 1.087v, so I would tell you that a voltage at 1.27 for a frequency of 40x is very very high. and other tips that occur to me are:
1 badly applied thermal paste
2 cpu heatsink malfunction
3 maybe the bios update produces bsod. Probably go back to the previous bios.
4 Windows updates regarding meltdown and specter will produce bsod regardless of the temperature.
I would lower the voltages and I would look at what was said in 1 and 2
