4690k Overheating 100c fast!

[HGhos]

I never overclocked my cpu as I never had to. Past month it was crazy, using stock fan btw but never reached past 70c. So I updated my bios recently, and everything else. Now its hitting 100c. I never overclocked anything except for my gpu only recently (3 days ago, which I reverted back to stock) just so I get the fans going cause the cpu is creating unwanted heat. The only thing which I shouldn't probably done, hopefully hasn't voided warranty is loaded xmp profile for ddr3 2400 and enabled turbo 4.0ghz to see if that would help but it hasn't...reverted in minutes. I reset my bios settings to see if that would help and still no. I absulotely no nothing with overclocking and never touched it till it hit 100c. I clean dust regularly and applied thermal paste recently which somehow made it hotter? Everything is placed correctly so I don't know what's the problem.

I downloaded CPUID HWMonitor, than CPU-Z, Coretemp, MSI Afterburner. Uninstalled everything except for HWM.

Let me know what I should do please. I've never done stress tests before btw and prefer not to as it'll definately damage my cpu...don't know anything about this stuff so I could be wrong. You guys are the experts =)

This only happens playing a game btw, but my idle temps are higher than usual so yeah...I'd appreciate if anyone could help me fast. Thanks in advanced

Hello GhostPepper,

Thank you for joining the Processor community.

Please respond and provide the following, this will help to address this matter:

• What is the name of the game you are playing?
• What is your BIOS version?
• Provide your https://downloadcenter.intel.com/download/19792/Intel-Processor-Diagnostic-Tool Download Intel® Processor Diagnostic Tool report.
• Is the temperature stuck in 100 °C the whole time while playing the game?
• Were you able to notice a different while gaming on a previous BIOS version?

A couple suggestions to try in the meantime:

• Double check that the amount of thermal grease applied was sufficient.
• Double check that the processor and the fan are fitted properly.

To attach a file, you must click "Use Advanced Editor" in the top right corner of the response box, then the "attach" option will appear in the bottom right corner of the response box.
