Hey everybody just finished my build, ran 3Dmark and noticed the max CPU temp was around 75 degrees. Idle temp is around 40. Its factory clock and using the stock heat sink. Should I be worried? I kinda lifted the heat sink a little bit when installing it, when I realized the wire was not long enough. Maybe I needed to reapply the thermal paste?
Thanks in advance for any inputs or suggestions.

Yeah after I reapplied the thermal paste temp doesn't go above 70 now. Thanks.
