i7-4790k stock temps

[dramen123]

I'm getting about 28-33°C idle 95°C during Intel burn test and up to 70°C while playing games on my 4790k is that normal with stock cooler?

is xmp enabled?

 

what is your room temp?

 

are you on manual or adaptive voltage?

95° is definitely high, but since Burn Test an artificial tool that's sole purpose is to create an excessive amount of heat, it's OK.

 

70° in a game is good enough.

My motherboard fed 1.35V to the CPU with adaptive on at stock speeds. I would manually set the voltage.

After BIOS update is 1.248 max

[dramen123]

I think 1.248 is too high anyway, should I try to undervolt it?

You can try undervolting, start in low increments first (like -50mV and go down from there). Remember to make sure you've got high current limits and high power draw limits too. Hopefully you'll get it working well. Also, use some good paste; what do you have on it currently?

if you use anything else than intel extreme tuning utility for stress testing MAKE SURE YOUR VOLTAGES ARE SET TO MANUAL for the stress testing otherwise you might harm your chip as many of these softwares will apply additional unwanted volts to your CPU and will overheat and cook it.
