4770k idle with 35°C on an H100. is this normal?

It's very normal, Haswell is notorious for having cheap TIM between the die and the IHS, this causes high temperatures in most cases due to receiving a bad CPU. You unfortunately can't RMA since there is nothing actually wrong with your CPU. However you could either delid or lap your CPU in order to achieve better temperatures, but by doing so will void your warranty. Another method would be to under volt your CPU, causing the amount of heat generated to be significantly lower.

I have not gamed on it nor had the time to overclock it so this was at stock.

Very normal

 

The thing to worry about is the temperature under load.

Use Intel Extreme Tuning Utility or Aida 64 instead.

That is a normal temp, but the question is what is the temp say in prime95?

i cannot remember but it was damn high. I wanna say over 90 degrees Celsius maybe 100 in core temp and it was running at 3.5GHz. I was only concerned because my 8350 has never been above 60 degrees Celsius during a stress test while overclocked to 4.7GHz.

Not so much cheap TIM, just too much space between the die and heatsink.
