Hey guys, yesterday I installed a new heatsink, the hyper 212 evo. I have an AMD a10-7850k @ 3.7ghz not oced. My idle temps are around 50-65 degrees celsius. While playing counterstrike and rocket league the highest temp was around 68 degrees, but it fluctuated down a lot. I am wondering if these temps are okay, or If i did something wrong while putting in the new heatsink. The only thing I think I could have done wrong was thermal paste. I put a pea sized dot in the center of the cpu, and I put the heatsink on as straight as possible. While tightening the screws on the heatsink, it was wiggling a little bit, IDK if that could have messed up the thermal paste enough to where its affecting my temps. Thoughts?

Old heatsink was indeed stock cooler, my previous heatsink would keep temps at like high 60s on idle, and while inside a game temps would reach 80s
