Dear CPU experts,
I have a desktop box with an i5-4670K @3.4 GHz cpu, not overclocked, using the stock fan, and when I use all four cores, the thing gets quite hot: when building the linux kernel with make -j4, it quickly gets as hot as 78?C and then sits around that temperature (as reported by the coretemp kernel module) until the job is over. Are such temperatures expected for this kind of processor? I find them quite surprising.
(I've tried with prime95 too, but with that the CPU doesn't get much hot, as apparently it doesn't enter the "turbo" state @3.6 GHz.)
