Hey guys,
I have a ROG MAXIMUS VII HERO MoBo with Intel Core i7 4790K CPU.
I have a CoolerMaster Hyper 103 cooler sitting on the CPU ( I got it for free with the CPU ).
I have optimized defaults in BIOS, except I set XMP for RAM.
In Windows (even BIOS) when the CPU is idle, the temps are at 37-40 degrees. I noticed that when I played CS:GO, temps were around 60 degrees, maybe higher (I think I saw 70 there). I thought that is little too much for that game so I ran some Prime95 stress test and temps boosted to 90+. Someone wrote that the newer versions of Prime95 are a little bit more stressful for Haswell so I ran some AIDA64 test.
In seconds (maybe second) the temperature topped at 70+- degrees. Some of the cores were at 80 degrees.
Here is a image of the temps:

Should I be worried? Maybe reapply thermal paste? Or is it normal?
Thanks in advance for any suggestions.
