hello.yesterday i built my first gaming pc..to cut the long story to short i installed the stock cpu cooler from the amd athlon x4 750k.in the building proccess i couldnt fit the hdd into its bracket so i decided to remove the cooler to fit it..after removing the cooler i didnt install new thermal paste.i searched the internet becuase my cpu was running hot and they said me to pit a new thermal paste..so today (30 minutes ago) i took out the cpu cooler cleaned the old thermal paste with rubbing alcohol both in the cpu and cooler and installed new thermal paste with the dot method..now after 30minutes i dont see any difference in my temps and i am really disapointed becuase when i play games cpu temp is like 67C...what i should do?should i wait for the thermal paste to take effect?idle temp is 38-39C..
