These temps seem high for a 4690k @4.2ghz with a H100i GTX

[Sam_11]

I am basically reaching temps of up to 75 degrees when i have my 4690k @4.2ghz which seems high considering there are people maxing 71 degrees when using the same cpu and cooler but at 4.8ghz, also this is only 2 degrees less than my old arctic freezer 13 air cooler at the same clocks, is it just my cpu or is it a mounting/thermal paste issue?

You probably have your V core on auto and it is going too high.

my vcore is on manual and @1.23v any lower and it becomes unstable and bsods

Then one or the other you are very unlucky with chip, Cooler install is wrong or your case airflow has something wrong with it.
Post your full specs and airflow setup.

And i have 2 intake fans on the front 1 exhaust on the back and 2 fans on the radiator set to exhaust on the top

For optimal cooling front loaded radiator with cold air going through it would be best for CPU but increase GPU temps.

 

[Sam_11]

Location of radiator and direction of flow through it?

It's on the top of the case and it's exhausting air from the inside up out the top of the case

edited above but there is nothing wrong in that sense with your airflow so maybe check the cooler install.

i read somewhere that you can add washers to improve a h100's contact with the cpu might try that
