sounds about normal. Full stress,benchmark testing can easily exceed the TDP.
IIRC my sandybridge i5-2500k was about 130W when using prime95
and even higher with IBT
that was just during initial testing.. I lowered my overclock, and manually set the offset lower to reduce the heat.
also if the hiper 212+ you are using has the "direct contact heatpipes" many times they arent even with the surrounding heatsink material which can cause reduced cooling/hotspots.
The ORG. 212+ had a thin full contact heatsink with the heatpipes sandwiched.
Ended up machining the new model to be flat.. works alot better now on the work cad station.
