Speaking of the Pentium G3258 and i5 4690k, why is it that these two processors have no issues with AVX instructions, yet the i7 4790k struggles so much with them? I have run the same tests on those two other processors and have had no issues with temperatures averaging in the mid 60C's. That's why I think it is a manufacturing issue of some kind with the i7 4790k's and not just simply that AVX instructions are stressful on processors. If the issue was AVX instruction stress, in theory it should give the same high temperatures on the other processors as well, right? I have literally put both of those other chips - G3258 & 4690k - into the same exact system (same case, fans, cooler, everything) and there was no issue. Yet, put the 4790k in and temps are back in the 90C's. Their "the processor is fine" response just doesn't add up.
