i5 4690k, stock clock speed, stock cooler
I recently installed a hardware monitor, and learned that when in any game (BF3, Far Cry 3, or CS:GO) my CPU temps hover at about 95-97 C. It also happens randomly when watching streams. (I've probably subjected it to about 250 hours at this temp since I got it.)
I typically idle around 50-60 C.
When in game, the CPU fan does not sound like it is going faster than normal, in fact I can only hear the GPU fan.
Is there a possibility the sensor is incorrect?

could be -- what program are you using to monitor temps?
i use: http://www.alcpu.com/CoreTemp/

stock cooler is ass, although that does seem extreme. Has it always been like this?

Get the basics out of the way, did you mount the cooler correctly? Did you apply thermal paste?

The stock cooler is pretty ass, but it's not that ass. These temps are a bit worrying...

You do know on nearly any stock cooler if not all, have thermal paste pre-applied?
Also if you don't plan on overclocking or don't care about the noise stock is just pretty much the way to go
But there obviously must be something broken if you are getting these temps.

If you didn't apply thermal paste manually when it was out of the box. I reccomend just RMAing it. Some chips are just faulty.

This seems to be a common issue with this chip: https://communities.intel.com/thread/54032
I'm using an aftermarket cooler but I've seen mine spike in the upper 70s, whilst my old overclocked i5-4670k never got above 60.
Edit: Derp, read the chip name wrong (its not the 4790k). I recommend you pick up an aftermarket cooler and re-paste. The stock intel coolers are not great and it sounds like your thermal paste didn't get applied correctly.

nobelharvardsDo stock coolers use the spread method or the dot method?
It looks like this

Also if you're applying yourself, always do the rice grain method, it's the best.

Case? Airflow you know, pictures would help.
Just to make sure: You didn't apply thermal paste to the CPU in addition to the one that already is on the stock cooler?
Mobo?
Also check the core voltage both in idle and under load.

The case is a Corsair 200r, with no additional fans added.
I did apply thermal paste myself, with the rice grain method.

I'm at school so I can't check voltages now, but I will this afternoon.

That raises further questions.
Why?
Did you remove the paste on the stock cooler?
-Yes->Why go through all this trouble?
-No->Found the problem.

I reseated my cpu cooler and now i have normal temps.
praise be my retardation didnt melt my processor

Don't worry there's throttling and thermal shutdown to prevent that.
Glad that fixed it.
