your exhaust fan, behind the casing, is it blowing air out of the casing?

normal temps if you using intel stock cooler
upgrade cooler if you want better temps
intel stock cooler really sucks
or you can underclock+undervolt

You are using an Core i7-4790K which is meant for overclocking and you are using an Intel stock cooler? Why not try to invest in a nice and cheap Cooler Master Hyper 212 EVO?

Checked, blowing air out. correct direction.

Ok, many thanks, should be applied, i go for Lowyat ALL-IT Computer Shop ask specialist to help me build up the PC. Wish they not doing mistake forget apply paste on it.

oic, many thank, may consider to change the CPU cooler.

Ya, using intel stock cooler, may consider to change the cooler you advise. thank you!

Stock cooler is the cause LOL.

stock cooler should be able to handle the proc, but during intensive gaming ? GG.

the paste is already on intel stock cooler, unless they rub it off.

i get the same shocked when i gotten my 4770k, i was like

srsly..can afford 1k cpu but cant afford RM100 cooler..facepalm.jpeg
buy cooler master hyper 212..most recommended for bang for buck cooler
