Please check that auto overclocking is disabled. Furthermore it could be that the heatsink does not have a perfect contact with the heatspreader. As I know on some boards the C7 will hit some condensators or mosfet and will not align perfectly on the chip.

You can try to use the included intel boxed heatsink to check if the temps are lower because this heatsink will seat perfectly.

Also make sure that the thermal paste is attached propper and the fan speed is not limited or works in silent mode in the UEFI.
