Re: How best proceed with overheating i7-4790K?

Just to update:

 

I received my RMA chip and ran Prime95 and OCCT and average temperatures running stock (4.0/4.4GHz) was in the mid 50C's with a maximum of 62C. This is down from 90C-100C on my previous chip.  With temperatures being in comfortable ranges, I decided it was time to try out the overclocking abilities and I was able to get to 4.896GHz (Core Ratio Limit x48 with 102 BCLK Frequency) with temperatures averaging high 70C's with a max of 84C, although that was maybe 5-6 spikes during a 15 minute test.  I ran the test 5 times total and got a BSOD twice (CLOCK_WATCHDOG_TIMEOUT once and WHEA UNCORRECTABLE ERROR once) so it isn't 100% stable (yet), but I am confident that I will be able to adjust voltages a little bit or (if all else fails) bring Core Ratio Limit down to x47 to be completely stable.

 

To get the above temperatures, I did have to adjust settings to resemble ken-intel's as closely as possible without limiting the speed of the processor.  Needless to say, I am much happier with the results with the new chip compared to what I was getting with the previous one.

 

Here is a picture of one of the tests I ran:
