Have you tried reflash the new bios and check CPU cooler
for install correctly? e.g paste thermal Grease

yep and yes runing set up as i have it now runs max at 61c but it dose not stay at the settings
TDP: 84W
Turbo Boost Power Max: 84.000W
Turbo Boost Short Power Max: 106.000W
Processor Current Limit: 105.000W
Voltage Core: 1.10V (aprox)
The TDP for the i5-4690K / i7-4790K is 88 Watts and the motherboard is running it at 4095w thats why it is overheating.

That's not technically true. There's no way to get the CPU to produce 4KW, it'd melt loooong before that.

A basic step when overclocking is increasing the TDP limits. Asus does this by default, or rather they go one step further and set the limits to their absolute max value so the hardware can run at full blast. But without some serious cooling you will end up with a very toasty i7. So if you want lower temperature instead of maximum overclock you can lower these limits to reign in the CPU.

Asus ROG G55VW:
CPU: i7 3630QM
GFX: Geforce GTX660M with 2GB ram
RAM: 2x8Gb 2133MHz Kingston HyperX Impact (surprisingly the G55VW uses the 2133 X.M.P. profile)
Storage: RAID0 with 2x 256Gb Crucial SSDs (both msata, one in a sata adapter)
OS: Windows 10 x64

Hi djlusk

I would install ROG cpu-z and see what the core voltage is drawing when under load. 61c is good temp, max temp is 75c for the 4790k and with the H100i you should be able to overclock it to 4.8GHz - 4.9GHz depending how good of a cpu you got.

Try version 1.73, I see some users reporting the latest version shows the VID rather than the vcore.

After selecting 1.73 click setup in the ROG version, then click download now then click run.

See what the vcore is showing when under load or playing a game, your temps are fine as they are though.

if i run this cpu at the stock my board let's me it bsod due to heat this is what it is set at stock.

this is what it should be.

As you can see the i7 4790k stock is well over the top i just want to set these values in the bios 🙂
