Over Heating Troubleshooting

Hey guys, I have a head scratchier here.

Here are my spec for my computer.

Cooler Master HAF 932 Advanced Blue Edition - High Air Flow Full Tower Computer Case with USB 3.0 and All-Black Interior

ASUS Z97-PRO(Wi-Fi ac)/USB 3.1 LGA 1150 Intel Z97 HDMI SATA 6Gb/s USB 3.1 ATX Intel Motherboard

Intel Core i7-4790K Devil's Canyon Quad-Core 4.0 GHz LGA 1150 BX80646I74790K Desktop Processor Intel HD Graphics 4600

G.SKILL TridentX Series 16GB (2 x 8GB) 240-Pin DDR3 SDRAM DDR3 2400 (PC3 19200) Desktop Memory Model F3-2400C10D-16GTX

EVGA GeForce GTX 970 04G-P4-3975-KR 4GB SSC GAMING w/ACX 2.0+, Whisper Silent Cooling Graphics Card

 

I downloaded a True Temp reader and CAM, These two third party software applications show the temperature of your computers CPU, Graphics Cards, ETC. and tells you how much of your computers resources are being used.

 

Last night my computer went up to 45C (110F) and today it is 100C (210-212F), I checked the thermal compound and re-applied a new coat. I even made sure that the heat sync and fan where properly snug on top of the CPU and that there was no dust too, however it is still giving me a high reading. I'm not sure if its the software giving me a BS reading or what.

 

I would like some outside advice and your thoughts on the matter.

What part of your computer is at 100C?

Both software? Could you post screenshot of them? Are you overclocking? Which cooler are you using? What load?
