CPU overheat Inter Core i7-4790K
Hello, Every time I try to play Star Wars Battlefront Beta, my CPU is overheating. I am using air cooling. It can go up to 100 Celsius! Windows threw 4 times bluescreen. Even on lowest graphics. Any...

@Zampoukos I have seriously nearly the same system, water-cooled with an Corsair I100. a 280X and basically the same CPU.
The question is, do you encounter any other heat issues with other games? As mentioned before, players reporting heavy CPU load on some systems but that should not over-heat your system. Is your CPU overclocked?

Playing modded Minecraft made my CPU overheat but not as much as Star Wars Battlefront. No, my CPU is on default speed(4GHz).
Question, what CPU fan do u have, is it the default one you get with the cpu?
The cpu is around 1½ year old so if u have your computer for a longer amount of time maybe you need to clean out the dust from it. Worst case is the cpu fan completly on the cpu? Maybe its not 100% placed right so it wont cool completly. This sounds like a hardware problem like dusty cpu, or the cpu cooler isnt 100% on the cpu instead of a software problem that starwars battlefront is making.
@Zampoukos I agree with @fatcamp that this kind of overheating issue is usually related to an issue with the hardware and rarely with a game. Even if a game or software is causing a high CPU load it should not happen that it is overheating your CPU even under the heaviest load.

BastiI removed the thermal paste and added a different one. Seems better but still the CPU climbed up to 90 Celsius. In-game the CPU temp. was about 70-80 but when the game ended and I was earning XP temp went up to 90. I'm really confused. http://prntscr.com/8qt3ux
I wish that was the case. No, it's not the default one, I have installed a Cooler Master Hyper 612 V2. I bought and build this PC about 4 months ago, cleaned and re-installed the CPU fan 2 days ago.
