Why is new i7-7700K hitting 100C under load?

Having the case on or off didn't matter.

I ended up swapping the i7-7700k for a i7-7500, problem solved. I think the 95W TDP chip + AVX was just too much for any cooler that would fit in the case.
 
The voltage was just too high, proper reduction would have solved it. Either way, glad you got it situated.
