Unusually high temps

[CookiezFort]

I decided to check the temperatures of my 4690k (havent done in a while) and I saw that playing cities skylines or on prime95 it would reach 90 degrees.

 

I am running the stock cooler but like a month ago I used a compressed air can to remove some dust. Sometime last year when I checked hte temperatures had like max 84 degrees while gaming and usually it was below 80. Should I invest on a better cooler or just get some thermal compound and clean/resit the stock cooler?

Try cleaning it/adding more thermal paste..

if not and you want the top of the line AIO- NZXT Kraken x61

Next best (mostly) H100i GTX (what I have)

after market cooler is always the best option. my personal preference are the corsair aio water coolers

Those are some very high temperatures. I recommend you to reapply thermal paste and get a better CPU cooler. The Cooler Master Hyper 212 EVO is a great price with great results.

If i go with a cooler it probably wont be water cooling. I was thinking towards the cryorig H7 or the Be Quiet Dark Rock 3.

I will probably do this in a while as I currently dont have the ability to upgrade anything.
