Question When thermal throttle starts for 4790K?

When CPU starts to reduce it's speed to reduce temps? Thank you and cheers

I think that point is about 100c.

98-100C.
I've seen it personally. (poorly installed CPU cooler)

Why is that a problem?
4790K is a good overclocker with some 25% performance boost usually available with a decent cooler.
The chip monitors it's own temperature and slows down to protect iself if needed.
