I just ran prime 95 on my i7 4790k rig that has a noctua nh u14s and MSI afterburner read the temperature from the idle of like 35 to like 87 degrees under 100% load which is weird because i didnt go over 1.3 volts in cpu z and i was wondering if anyone noticed anything similar

And this is why you DO NOT USE PRIME95!

Use real bench, IETU, aida64, etc. Prime 95 destroys intel chips and it isn't a proper way to determine if your OC is stable.

Don't use Prime95 for Intel chips. Use AIDA64. 

Ok so i re did the test and it was putting me at 1.35v for my cpu so i immediatly stopped it, but during the test cpu remained under 70 degrees celcius, i almost never run at that voltage and i have a MSI OC series MOBO so i am sure it will be fine. But thanks i will use AIDa 64 from now on

Better than a synthetic stress test like Aida would be real bench.

I've had seemingly stable overclocks on Aida64/IETU fail in real bench, so yeah.
