CPU throttling occurs around 90c-100c and has a max temp rating of 105c on the 4790k. If he gets throttled when as low as 70c then there is something wrong with the CPU. Yes if that's idle temps it'll limit overclocking. Hell, many overclockers are comfortable licking 80c. 70c isn't a good temp and yes he should remount the cooler, but it's not a dangerous temp.
