Hello. My i5 4690k is running at 4.4 gigahertz at 1.200 volts. Is this a good voltage? I am using a corsair h100i and am getting around 35 degrees Celsius idle and around85 degrees Celsius under a 100% load. Is this good? Thanks!
 
Solution

Yes, if the cooler slipped when you were seating it the paste could have spread unevenly.

After a few trials and errors with the thermal paste I believe that I have solved the problem. Idle the cpu is 35C while under prime95 the highest temp it went was 92C and after that test dropped to the low 60C. I don't know why this happened but those 90C temps did not show up again. Thanks for all of your answers and suggestion!
 

Which version of Prime95 are you using? 26.6 is the best one to use.

I have no idea. I'll re-download it and give you guys the results.
 

If you open Prime95 and click "Help", then "About Prime95..." it will show you which version you have.

Thank you. After testing it again my cpu has not even gone up to the high 60s under 100% load! Thanks!
 

I'm glad it's solved :)
