I could have lost some of the paste due to my hand slipping while applying it. Reapplying thermal paste might be necessary.
It seems you may have dropped some paste during installation. Would it be better to reapply thermal paste?

Alright thanks! I just ordered some new thermal paste! Hopefully it gets cooler.
Clearly a thermal paste issue. I'm operating at 4690K, 4.5Ghz, 1.23vcore with an H105 that can handle up to 55-60C. I understand the H105 is superior to the H100i, but not by much. Once the right thermal paste arrives, performance should improve by about 20C or more.
Through several attempts and adjustments with the thermal paste, I think I've resolved the issue. The CPU temperature stabilized at 35°C during the Prime95 test, reaching a peak of 92°C before dropping to low 60°C afterward. Those 90°C readings didn't reappear. Thanks for your help and advice!

Which Prime95 version are you using? 26.6 seems to be the optimal choice.
