my cpu will not run cool. It is idling at about 50c and as soon as i add a load it jumps to 90-100c within just a few second.

I was using a stock cooler on my i7 4790k so I thought it might be the cooler

I swapped out to a antec h2o 1250 closed loop water cooler and upgraded thermal pasted to artic silver 5

i reset my bios to defaults and still the same issue is occuring. as soon as i add load to the cpu the temps go through the roof

any ideas would be appriciated

Have you checked what your loads are at those temps? Could there be stuff in the background pinning your processor to 100%? Also try remounting the cooler and check everything is actually run ( eg. pump, fans etc.) Also artic silver 5 have a breaking period so higher temps are normal at the beginning and also sometimes less is more (so try using less TIM). Last resort is to ether A. get a new chip or B. Delid it and put liquid metal in

I have mounted the waterblock twice with new thermal paste each time. the cooler is on the fan header and reading correctly. the pc is fine at idle the load test takes the pc to 100% usage intentionaly but the temps dont slowly rise they hit 100c in 2-3 seconds. and the plastic is not on the waterblock it was removed lol. it all acts exactly like if the heatsink is not on the cpu but ive check over and over and each time the thermal paste is evenly spread and the waterblock is snug

just an update i took the cooler off of my extra pc was also an lga1150 and cleaned the cpu and cooler applied more thermal paste and the result is still the same. I removed the cooler again moved it back  to my  extra pc and the extra pc stays cool never over 50c under load. this seems doesnt seem to be a cooler issue.
