Need Help. CPU Overheating

[CaecaLux]

Having an issue with my i7 4790k, which isn't overclocked, overheating and reaching temps of 100C. I thought it might have been a bad water cooler, so I switched them out. It's still reaching 100C and now I'm out 60 dollars. Any idea what it could be? Using a H60 on an i7 4790k in case anyone is wondering. It's what came with the original build. This happens during gaming only. Idle temp is around 40C, then over time it reaches 100C during cpu intense games.

An idle temp of 40C is too high IMO. Do you have ALL the H60 hardware installed, including the backplate ? Does the temp in the BIOS agree with the temp monitoring software?
