Need some help about my CPU temp

[Jambu95]

Ok first of all, my specs here,
Monitor: Samsung Syncmaster T220 1680x1050 60hz
CPU : i7 2600k (non overclocked) left in the box on the shelf for 2 years, then used it for 2 years till now.
GPU : Gigabyte G1 Gaming GTX 970 (non overclocked)
Mobo : Gigabyte  GA-Z77-HD3
PSU : Cooler Master GX Bronze 650 Watt
Os Drive : Intel 320 series 120GB SSD
HDD : Western Digital Caviar Blue 500GB 
Case : Bitfenix Neos window
Intake fan : Dual Coolermaster 120mm sickleflow
Cooler : Intel TS13X thermal solution
Thermal compound : Xigmatek PTI G4512 Thermal compound

Introduction : Before i used the AIO watercooling, i used a stock intel cooler, and i played battlefield 4. (Ultra settings and MFAA), my room temperature is constant 27~28 celcius. And has decent airflow.

Problem : My cpu is idle at 43~45 degree celcius, when playing battlefield 4, while my gpu is around 67 celcius under load (which is good), my cpu reached around 85 celcius under 60% load, i'm worried about that.

What did i do : First, i used the xigmatek thermal compound using pea method, the temperature still remained at 80-ish degree celcius, no improvement, then i bought the intel closed loop to see if it's a cooler problem.

Results : my idle temperature dropped by around 5 degree which stays around 40 celcius, but when playing bf4 again it maxed out at 65-ish celcius, seems ok, BUT..
There's a cousin of mine, which is using the same cpu as mine, he tucked his tower right at the corner wall below his table while using stock cooler, and his temperature never reached over 65 celcius playing crysis 3. While my tower is on my desk, and the radiator push fan( the blue led fan came with the cooler) is about 1 feet away from the wall.

What i thought : Is it a case airflow problem?(look at the picture, while under load, that corner right there is the hottest), and it took a while to cool down from peak to idle temperature, around 2~3 minutes, my radiator just fitted tightly without much problem when i'm installing it. Then i couldn't make a conclusion where the F is wrong, so i need some advice, thx in advance.

Distance your computer from your wall.

Is that an intake or outtake fan for your cpu? Try switching orientation for better airflow.

Dust your computer

You have a gpu that blows directly into the case, which will overheat your cpu when gaming.

What case is that and those temps are bad

My pc case is around 1~ 2 feet (50cm) away from the wall on the table, radiator push-out fan, my table cant fit a horizontal tower, my computer is well cleaned, seems like my gpu orientation is a problem, but that cant be change unless I switch my case

Bitfenix neos, it lacks top exhaust though

Have you considered getting an aftermarket cooler?

Also, there is a statistical likelihood that your friend simply has a better CPU then you. Have you heard of the silicon lottery?

Im already using one, intel ts13x, oh no silicon lottery, think luck's not on my side.

(Think I posted on the wrong section, this should be in Troubleshoot)

Have you checked the voltage? it's not unheard off that some mobo's bios will set a high voltage automatically, happened to some people who put a haswell-e cpu on a z87 board. I don't think it's airflow, it rarely is since opening a panel would be the automatic solution, for what you've described my usual guess is a mistake on mounting, you don't seem to have made that mistake since you reseated the cooler. If non of the above works, maybe replacing the fan and even going push/pull (it can make a big difference in single rads)

Taken from bios :
Vcore 1.188 V
Dram voltage : 1.512v
CPU Vcore : 1.210v
Dynamic Vcore(DUID) : +0.000V
Dynamic GFX Core (VAXG DUID) +0.000V
CPU Vtt : 1.075V
IMC : 0.940V

don't think my case will able to support another 120mm fan, unless i install it on the outside

I've heard of the ivy and haswell IHS TIM issue, (of course no i'd never do that to my love), if it's the integrated heat spreader that is causing the problem, then i've no choice but to deal with it, what are your opinion?

65ºC on load is reasonable, i mean, it's under intel's max temps for constant usage (72ºC) and the truth is a 120mm rad can only do so much, i had a seidon 120v and i came to realize that during load my cpu was overheating at very conservative OCs (I mean barely touching voltage, so temps should be near stock) So i got a corsair H105 and it's fantastic at 1.3 volts, there was nothing wrong with the seidon 120v, i just wanted to overclock, and since you are not overclocking and your temps are fine, id say there is nothing to fix. If you want better cooling a big heatsink or a dual rad would be a big improvement, but i just don't think it's necesary given you are not OCing

[Jambu95]

65ºC on load is reasonable, ~~

Sure it is, but i'm just wondering why my cousin can get that kind of temperature with just a mere stock cooler, either it's silicon lottery or my hot gas from gpu have no way to exhaust other than going through the radiator, think i'm gonna do some case modding to punch a few 120mm holes as top exhaust.

Is that the only exhause you have? The radiator I mean.

er ya, my case only have that one, i'm planning to punch 2x 120mm holes on top during my semester break

If you have the same temps with the case panel off it's not a problem with the airflow. Try that and report back.

 

The stock cooler isn't that bad as people say, so i'm not suprised your friend have quite good temps with it. 

 

How warm is your room? The ambient temp makes a difference, does any of you aircooled rooms?

room temp stated on the first post, when taking side panel off, temperature decreased from 65 to 58, think it's an airflow problem
