35Cis seems a bit excessive for an idle setting, and the high temperatures in the 80Cs are quite intense during operation. It might be that your component needs that much power to comply with the requirements, but the standard cooler should handle it better. Did you set it up yourself?
DonkeyOatie shared their experience about the temperature and voltage concerns, noting the chip might need more power and questioning if they installed it correctly.
Charles1515 shared his thoughts on the situation. He noted the temperature readings were elevated and the high voltage levels were excessive during idle. He suggested checking if the chip needs more power and questioned whether the cooler was properly installed. He mentioned he installed it himself and expected a 4.00GHz model, but observed a higher speed of 4.32 without any changes. He also pointed out that 1.258v is within the high-end air cooling range and that the turbo boost could push it to 4.4Ghz if needed.
It appears you're checking the recommended idle voltage settings. The suggested values are 4.0 for all cores, 4.4 for single core turbo, 4.3 for two core turbo, and 4.2 for three or more cores. Make sure the voltage stays within at least 0.1V of these levels.
It appears you're experiencing all cores at maximum speed. The current stock level is 4.0, single core turbo at 4.4, two core turbo at 4.3, and three or more cores at 4.2. The voltage shouldn't be too high—at least 0.1V lower. When you idle, the voltage drops to what? It doesn't seem to change.
Does your voltage remain steady at 1.25 when the system is idle?
That's acceptable. I had some concerns.
The 4.4-ish GHZ voltage you mentioned is significantly higher than the two i7s I've used before, and it may exceed what your stock fan can manage continuously.
Could you tell me about your motherboard? We might be able to lower the CPU voltage to a more practical setting.
