Budget cooler upgrade

[ruchir_ezio]

I use an intel i7-4790k with the stock cooler and getting 100°c in games like forza horizon 4 and witcher 3. I'm looking for an upgrade. I'm confused which one would be a better Cooler Master Master air MA610p or Cooler Master Hyper 212 black edition. Both have the same price but the former has 2 fans with push pull configuration and the latter seems to have a bigger heatsink. Any recommendations?

i would recommend to clean the stock cooler or apply new thermal paste.

The stock cooler should be perfectly capable of cooling the CPU, people usually replace them due to noise and not because they hit 100°C

I already did that, didn't work at all. It idles at 45-55°c and in games it's usually 90-100°c

Also I'm getting this issue where when I close any cpu heavy application, the clock speed still remains at max and the temperatures between 85-90°c. My windows power options are on Balanced mode, I even clocked the processor down to 3.1 ghz, tried lowering the voltage. Nothing worked. It kept running on 4.2 ghz or 3.1 ghz when I down clocked but it idles at the max limit, unless I open task manager, the moment I launch task manager the temperatures and the frequency start to rapidly drop.

Any idea what this could be about?
