Temperature on 4790K?

Hi, sorry for my bad english .

I have a little overheating situation. I use i7 4790K on Asus Z97 Pro Gamer, case Zalman Z3 Plus with very good air flow. I recently bought Gelid Tranquillo rev3 as cooler, but temperatures were 35-40 idle, 60-65°C slightly working and up to 75°C in full load.

Now I installed Noctua D15, reinstall thermal compound twice and my best results are 27-32°C idle, 40-65°C medium work load and 68-75°C in full load. But in prime up to 100°C in just one second.

 

My PCH on MB is up to 48°C. Is that normal? It did not matter which application method of thermal compound or number of coolers i used. (I use MX4 paste.)

 

Thank you in advance for any hints!

High temperature with an Intel® processor i7-4790k was previously reported and it seemed to be an issue with motherboard BIOS, please check the link below for instructions about this matter:
