For your comparisons, I have OC:ed my 4790K to 4,6Ghz. My voltage is stable at 1.285v.
Idle temps are around 35 degrees. Load temps when gaming between 50-60 degrees, and stresstesting (Prime95 and Aida64) takes me to 68 degrees.
All with an h80i from Corsair.
I have an L4-batch
Thanks for the comparison! Are you using Small FFTs on Prime95? I seem to hit 82C on Small FFTs on stock! x.x Voltage is 1.13 currently.
I posted in this thread earlier that I might have the same problem, I had similar voltages, temps, and a similar cooler, and should have been getting ok performance and temp but wasn't.
I considered many possibilities including just faulty temp readings, nothing in the case seemed hot. Wheels started turning in my mind though, and long story short, I updated to the latest motherboard bios and voltage and temp seem very good now. 1.17 volts and 72C stable on the intel stress test. Prime95 is a torture test, you don't have to judge everything by that though the intel and others aren't much weaker I suspect. I'm still testing and tweaking though.
So take your time and try to figure it out, it might need the bios or something else.
