On idle my temps are about 32-33 C average, browsing internet 36-38 C on average. Now, this probably sounds pretty normal but while gaming avg goes way up to 65 and max temps spiking to 72. Game I was playing today was Dark Souls 2 and after a 2 and a half hour session i noticed that the temps were obviously not where I want them to be. I have noticed pretty high temps before. My case airflow is pretty O.K. , and I'm using the stock intel fan with an i5 4670, no overclocking done. I'm also only using the fans that came with my Coolermaster n600 case. Would you guys recommend using a new heatsink fan, adding more case fans, or something else? Thanks...

case fans might help, but not as much as an aftermarket cooler would. To clean off the thermal paste, simply use a lint-free cloth or cotton swabs and isopropyl alcohol (rubbing alcohol). DO NOT use water or abrasive cleaning materials.

To clean off the old thermal paste use some "91% Isopropyl Alcohol" on some toilet paper. Clean it off, then hit it with a air duster. I'd repeat it a few times to make sure it's good and clean.
Just do it yourself, after the first time or two of doing things like this it becomes a non-issue.
I 2nd the "212 evo". It's a fine cooler for the price range and will keep that CPU super cool at stock.
