6850k Temps?

On my new PC build with a 6850k, water-cooled with a Corsair H100i V2, I'm getting idle temps right at 30 C, which seems completely fine to me. However, when I ran the CPU under load with Handbrake transcoding a movie file, I saw CPU temperatures reach 70 C. Does this seem a little high for this config? I have the stock fans that came with the cooler push air through the top-mounted radiator and out of the case. Is it possible I may have a poor thermal compound application? Or are these temperatures within normal operating temps for a system like this?

Well my 70C is a solid 12 degrees higher than anything on this graph. Care to explain your reasoning?

Sorry I edited the post. Yeah it does seem bit high.Are you overclocked yet

how hot is your room? how are the GPU temps? how is your case airflow?

Room is around 25 C, I have 2 intake fans in the front, 1 intake fan in the bottom in front of the PSU, 1 exhaust fan in the back, in the usual spot, and 2 fans exhausting air though the radiator. The idea was to blow air in sort of the natural way, cool air coming in the front toward the bottom, warm air rising and exhausting through the exhaust fans at and round the top.

I'm happy to report that I have fixed the issue, and now see max CPU temps in the high 50s and low 60s (right around the numbers for the above graph deXxterlab97 posted. I did a fresh application of thermal compound, and realized I had my PWM fan splitter plugged into my primary CPU fan header. After I corrected this, PWM was able to ramp up the fans and pump more precisely for my CPU. I also hooked up my Corsair Link and set graphs for fan speed on my water cooler to minimize volume when possible, and ramp up when CPU temps go up.
