So when I first installed my H60 on my 4690k I cleaned off the stock thermal paste and put on Arctic Silver 5. For the first few days I would idle at 30c and in games would hit 50. And then all of sudden yesterday I am hitting 60c in games and idling at 35c. Help?
 
Solution
Temps are still normal. You can safely ignore them. However, keep a tab on temps. If you see increasing pattern in temps then follow these steps:

Remove the HSF.
Clean the residue of thermal paste
Clean the radiator
Clean the fans (making sure that they don't move while cleaning)
Apply thermal paste again (small pea size)
Install HSF.

That should do it.
