I suspect that I may not have done a good job on installing the cooler.

What settings are you running your CPU at? 79 degrees is alright since you're running a Hyper 212 with the 4790K. It's a good cooler, but starts shitting the bad at higher TDPs.
Do try to see if you can undervolt your CPU though. I manually set the voltage/clock speeds on my 4790K to 1.12v/4.2GHz and I usually maxed out at around 70 degrees across all cores with Prime95 26.6. This was with a Nepton 240M with both radiator fans silent at 800RPMs.
And make sure you use Prime95 26.6 and not the latest version. It includes instructions that heats the shit out of Haswell CPUs.
