That's indeed a bit too much. Have you overclocked? Are you using the stock cooler?
No OC and yes I have a Stock Cooler on it.
Ok.... is the temperature where you're at very high? Are you sure you installed your CPU Cooler correctly? I get about 55º on my I7 4790 on full load just to put things under perspective.
Thank you so much for your time.
My computer room temp is about 75ºF
I have installed everything correctly and the stock heatsink is working properly.
I have the right BIOS for my motherboard (ASROCK z97 extreme 6)
I don't even know how to Overclock, unless my board is somehow automatically OC.
Let me ask you something if you don't mind. If I just let it be and the i7 4790k misses up or dies, will it harm my other components? Also, Will Intel replace a CPU under the 3 year limited warranty if it messes up?
Sorry, my CPU temps are about 131ºF (which corresponds to 55º C). Your CPU temps are mesured in Celsius and are quite higher than they should, whilst running a non-overclocked I7 4790k at a room temperature of 23ºC or 75ºF using a reference heatsink. This leads me to believe that the CPU Cooler fans are not running properly (you can adjust the fan curve on the BIOS) or the thermal paste somehow isn't enough/isn't allowing good contact and heat transference.
My suggestions are: 1st - Really check if the Cooler is mounted properly (don't be afraid to apply a bit of pressure on the pins).
2nd - Get a new heatsink, like the Cooler Master 212 Evo if it fits your case (Warning: you'll have to get a new tube of thermal paste)
3rd - Contact customer support or take your PC to somewhere where they can actually diagnose the problem (I wouldn't recommend this until everything else is ruled out).
You should also use other utility to mesure your CPUs temperature like MSI Afterburner (just to rule out software reading problems, actually quite common, so that's the very first thing you should do:

Try the last one and tell me if it made any difference.
