How do I test my temps under load, I just installed my i7 4790k yesterday and got the OS working and everything.

Then I Checked my temps after playing planetside2(55 plus fps on max settings is amazing!!!!) and running skype and it was only 35C I was just wondering why they were so low is that normal? On benchmarks even under a small load to temps were in the 40-50's.
 
Solution
Run OCCT stress test until the temperatures stabilize.

Temperature readings are derived from electrical calculations, not actual temperatures.
Some apps measure better than others.

I expect 10-15c. over ambient at idle if your cooler is mounted well.
If you are really in the 50's under load, you scored a very good chip.

The metric to monitor is vcore. It should not exceed 1.30v.
It is high vcore that drives up temperatures.
You can monitor vcore with cpu-z.

highest ive had was 50 while playing bf4 on max settings while playing diablo 3 with a friend and i had 90 fps fps on both.
Lowest temps is at start up around 25C then it goes into the 30's and peaks at the maximum 50 without overclocking leaving a decent amount of room for overclocking
