I currently own this system but the temps at a thermal test of small ftts gives temperature of 90c instantly and temps while gaming are max 65c with titles like bf4 crysis 3 etc



Processor - INTEL i7 4790k devils canyon(haswell refresh) @ 4.6ghz on 1.26v
Motherboard- ASUS REPUBLIC OF GAMERS MAXIMUS VII HERO
RAM- G.SKILL RIPJAWSX 2x4GB 2133mhz
Cooler- nzxt kraken x61 liquid cooler with noctua nt-h1
Graphic card- SAPPHIRE R9 280x VAPOX 3gb
PSU- COOLER MASTER silent pro M 850w
CABINET- corsair air 540 HIGH AIRFLOW (with 3x CM jetflows and 2x CORSAIR AF140)
Lighting- NZXT HUE RGB Controller

Moreover the cooler is one of the best but still temp is very high ambient temps are 30-35c at my place

When do you get 90C?
Your gaming temps are fine.

Prime95 small FTTs test

 

[MeteorsRaining]

What's your OC on that rig? 4.5GHz? 4.7GHz?
Those temps are warm but still under limits for Prime 95 and FTTs.

4.6ghz

I OC my 4790k to 4.5GHz stable with 1.25V on 67-72C on H110. Your temps are warm but considering your high OC and high room temp, its still in the recommended limit. Try using your CPU with no OC and 4.4GHz Turbo, run Prime test and it should be 65-75C with that cooler.
