Is your CM Hyper 212x placed horizontally or vertically? Try changing the direction of the cooler to a vertical setup.
My gaming temps are high with the 212x as well. Mine is in a horizontal setup.
I think the hyper 212x is pulling in the hot air from the gpu.

If your cooler placement is horizontal,then take it off,reapply thermal paste and then reseat it.

Those are good temperatures I suppose. My idle is 43-47 in idle with a stock cooler. In an ambient temperature of 35 degrees 40 is pretty good temp IMO

Uh that is fine actually. Try taking off the hyper 212x and resetting it the same way. Maybe there are air bubbles in the thermal paste or maybe there isn't proper contact.

Remove the thermal paste and reseat your cooler again making sure that there are no air bubbles this time around and check your temps and post here.

If you have isopropyl alcohol then dab a microfiber or soft cotton cloth with it and then wipe off the thermal paste.
In case you don't have rubbing alcohol, simply wipe it off with a soft piece of cloth. But be careful. Take your time with it.

the above temps are with NO GFX inside.

i have RMA'ed the gfx because it touched 88C today during BF4 and with side panel open it touched 70C+ within a min. of starting the game. Please advise if i should replace the cpu as well ? really confused

Anyone using i5 4570 from india please jot down your temps during gaming and load tests ? your help will be much appreciated. really tired of checking things for past 10days.

make the top fan intake and see what happens. also try to arrange the cooler in vertical direction (cpu fan fan facing the top intake fan)keeping the top fan intake and see what happens.

As suggested by "rijinpk1 ", make the top fan as intake. As this is summer, temps around 70 is okish for an air cooler.

Haswell thermal shutdown is at 1 or 2 degrees above of 105 degree Celsius. 70-80 is perfectly fine for haswell IMO

Processor i5-4570 + CM Hyper 212X. Mainboard Asus H87M-E.

I have a i5 4670s + Stock fan but no high temps.Using a CM Hyper 101 is also enough if you had applied the thermal paste in a right way buddy.
