i also need to stress a point here after reading yianom reply, when i first built this PC 2 months ago i had a hard time installing my cooler Scythe Katana 4 and i needed to apply alot of pressure to install it.

when i ran prime 95 to see if the build is stable temperatures jump to 99 and 100 instantly my first thoughts were that i didnt install the cooler correctly but after i made sure it is (took it off and installed it many times) i had to think of another reason and i ended up updating my z97x gaming 5 bios to version F5 , after i did that temperatures stopped jumping to 99 when running prime95 instead they start from 70s and increase gradually till they reach 92 or 93.
with that in mind, i was sure that the bios wasnt optimized for this new cpu which is released after this mobo.
another point that yianom mentioned is adequate pressure is good "the heat spreader starts pushing the glue and "settles in" closing the gap between them", when i looked at the back of my mobo it was little curved from the pressure the cooler applies, so is that maybe why my temperatures are better with karwos test than the rest here ?
