I play all kinds of games (Starcraft, intensive graphics shooters etc...) and my CPU temperatures never ever go higher then 65degrees. With Dragon Age inquisition, I get between 80-90degress cons...

My gilrfriend gifted DA:I for Christmas knowing that i have a new pc build for gaming.
i7-4790k 4.00Ghz
16Gb Ram
GTX 970 Asus Strix
Windows 8.1 64 bit
Multi fan (x6) sistem for keep case cooler.
Played all my Steam games on max settings with 60 fps and temperature on 60°C.
Installing DA:I. First play the CPU temperature bumped to 86°C. VGA at 60°C. CPU at 86°C. What the hell? Reload and restart the sistem.
Second try.
Ten minutes of playing 92°C.
At 30 minutes PC freezes and crashes,
Tryed to change graphic settings. Ultra low or Ultra hight nothing changes. Same overhealing CPU. Always over 86 °C.
Can't play the game. Pc has no problem. The problem is inside the game.
Solution? Fix incoming?
For those with CPUs overheating, try to buy a new CPU air cooler. Since intel's stock heatsinks are below average, and especially if you bought an intel K processor it would be a waste if you did not use a custom heatsink.
Had this problem in my i5 4670k last year - even on stock clocks/voltage, I'm reaching 80c with intel burntest and other cpu stress test benchmarks. =| After upgrading the heatsink with a cheapo 20-30 dollar heatsink, I'm currently running at 4.5ghz overclock and max temps are 70C for core1 and 67C for the other cores in dragon age. In stress tests, I'm still reaching 75C for Core1, but that is still acceptable.
