I just got a replacement I7 4790k from microcenter today.
I can happily report that I can run OCCT 4.4.1 for more then 30 seconds now. With the previous cpu the program errored out due to cpu temps going above 85C. I'm 4 minutes in @ 100% load. Cores are averaging around 75C and power is ~112watts!
I'd highly suggest getting a replacement if yours is exhibiting high temps like mine was. After ruling out cpu heatsink seating issues and other type issues.
