does this cpu gets this hot?

Intel® Core™ i5-3570K running at stock 3.4ghz 
corsair vengeance 12gb RAM(1x8gb,1x4gb)
asus gtx 550ti 1gb
corsair cx 600
1tb seagate HDD
i used corsair H80 as the cooler for the cpu ,since the idle temperature was around 80c and the load temp when running prime95 with small fft gets the cpu to 100c ,i removed the H80 and inserted the stock heat sink that came with the processor .the temperature was reduce to 42c at idle and gets to 96c at 100% load when prime95 small fft was ran for 5 mins,so does this cpu gets this hot ?i mean the temperature was hovering around 87c to 97 at 100% load on all cores.any solution?also the Room temperature was about 28c

Prime95 is not recommended on Intel CPUs, since it overvolts the CPU. You should use Intel XTU for stress testing, and see your max temp during the test.

Did you make sure the H80 was plugged in?

I'm pretty sure that only happens with Haswell.

 

OP, try reseating the CPU block.

Sounds like you did not plug everything in, make sure it is seated well, and all cables are plugged in properly.

i removed the corsair H80 and inserted the stock heatsink that came with the processor .the heatsink was preapplied and the temperature was touched 96c during 100% load and 42c on idle.

That is considered normal for stock cooler. Like said above, something is wrong with your H80 cooler. Either the pump doesn't work, you have bad mount or something isn't plugged in. Ivy bridge CPUs run much cooler than Haswell chips but still running something like Prime95 with just stock cooler is questionable. Your gaming/normal load temps should be around 70C mark with that ambient. Remember that higher ambient results higher temps inside case also (most temp results you see on revies are done in 20-22C ambient).

the case i'm using is corsair 400r with two fans at the top for exhaust ,1 bottom for intake and 2 side fans for intake and 2 front intake fans (all are 120mm) .so i'm assuming there is enough air flow inside the case.is there a chance for the processor to be defective ?because even with a stock cooler 90c at 100% load is very high i think.

Stock cooler isn't that good for just cooling. Its designed to keep CPU cool under what is considered normal loads. So if it would overheat with stock cooler and with reasonable volts (ie. stock), then we would be talking about defective CPU. If your room temp would be closer to what we in the colder areas have, max load would propably be near 85C.

thats just haswell

[LogicalDrm]

"estandar" cooler means stock cooler? OCing isn't recomended to do with only stock cooler. Nor is stress testing really. Stock cooler is meant for keeping system cool on normal loads. So stressing it with software will obviously result higher ratings than you should expect. If you have some other cooler, please tell which. In that case problem could be bad mount or thermal paste.

[Fgtfv567]

80C at idle on a liquid cooler is WAY WAY too hot. Make sure your fan and pump are receiving power

Not really. Every processor after Sandy Bridge should not be test with Prime95. If you have seen someone on youtube doing it they are wrong in doing so. Excessive use of Prime95 may burn down the chip or cause rapid degradation. I have seen this happen in a number of cases over the years. 

 

On topic:

 

Don't use Prime95, because of the reasons mentioned above. Use Aida 64 instead or Intel's utility program. Also make sure your pump on the H80 is woking. Mine died a while back and my processor started to overheat. If the pump is rinning, there is always the chance that you did not seat it properly flush with the surface of the processor. The tiniest air bubble trapped inside, or uneven spread of the thermal compound is enough to produce high temps.
