The i7 4770k I purchased is running a bit hot for me when at 100% usage.
When compressing videos in Virtualdub I notice the temps are around 74-76C on some of the cores.
These are around the same temps I get with Prime95.
I've tried Intel Burn Test and Aida64 for testing my CPU and those bumped it to 92C.
Keep in mind I am using one of the best CPU heatsink air coolers on the market (Noctua NH-D14).
This is with only 1.2v on the CPU. If I used the heatsink included in the box it would easily run 15-20C hotter.
What I am asking is if it's possible to RMA my CPU for this reason?
When looking up the info on the box it says my Warranty lasts until August 2017.

Hello RyviusRan, I'm sorry to hear that you are having issues with this system.
I have seen this behavior before and sometimes it is cause by the memory.
Some recommendation I could give are the following:
- Add more thermal paste or renew the one you have. You can also add more fans internally on the case to extract the heat.
- We provide an application that is called Intel® Processor Diagnostics Tool. You can run this application and it will diagnose the processor components and will generate a result. I suggest you running this in to discard any possible issues with the processor (hardware).
- Please use minimum configuration while running this test. You can get this from the following link:
