Is it too hot?

CPU: i5-4690K
CPU Cooler: 212 EVO
MOBO: Z97 Extreme4
Case Corsair 200R

In Prime 95 stress test under full load temps stay at 70ºC with some jumps to 77ºC. Is it usual?

Nope its bad... am worry when my i5 3350p hits 68 but 77c is too much.

Stock speed, I didn't overclock.
Can it be because a bad installation of the CPU Cooler? Is there any way to verify if it's well installed?

That's really bad for a high performance cooler like that. I pretty sure you did something wrong.

Try undoing the cpu cooler from the motherboard and reapply a new layer of thermal paste.

That is within acceptable temperatures. Remember that it's under FULL load.

...BUT since it's a good after market cooler, that kind of temperature is REALLY bad, not so bad that it will get damaged as long as you don't keep the temperatures up for long though.
You might want to check the mounting...

To be clear, DON'T LEAVE IT LIKE THAT. I'm just saying, as long as you don't start stress testing it under full load for a long time or something, it shouldn't get damaged, so no need to be afraid of that while testing.

In idle it's 40ºC. Which is the normal temps for that cpu?

40C is a good temp.

Not really. Other than opening it up and checking if you put too much or not enough thermal paste. Or if you didn't screw it in right or something.

Can high temps be a consequence of a faulty CPU?

Which are the usual temps for that cpu with a 212 EVO?

If I'm correct, I've seen most of them with about 55C-60C max with an overclocked i5 or i7 quad core.

Go into the BIOS, and make sure the Vcore (CPU voltage) is NOT on AUTO. Switch it to normal.

The Corsair 200R is described as a "compact ATX" case, my guess is its airflow isn't amazing.

Also, agreed with the suggestion not to allow your motherboard to auto-detect the Vcore. They frequently overestimate and push more power through it than it needs.

VCore was on "AUTO"
Set it to "Override"
Booted into Windows 8.1
Blue Screen
Set VCore back to "AUTO"
Blue Screen
Reinstalled Windows 8.1

Apparently setting the VCore to "Override" caused Windows to fail

What's override? never heard that before.

isn't their a normal setting for the vcore? Their should be. If not then set it to like 1.2V if I'm correct.

 

[Corprive]

There are "Auto", "Override" and "Adaptable"

try adaptable and see what happens.

Reapplied thermal paste and reinstalled the 212 EVO, now in Prime95's SmallFFTs temps get to a maximum of 70ºC. Are these temps normal?

still bad, it's lowered a little which is good, but still it's bad.

I'm still positive it's your vcore or something, try updating the BIOS, if that doesn't fix it then your going to have to put a manual vcore voltage in.
