Hi! I recently got the V8 GTS CPU cooler. I chose to install it right away on my i5-3570k, but I am having some issues with the temps. They all seem to be really really high, like as high as they would be on a stock cooler. My CPU is at 3.4 GHz and my idle temperature is around 40-50 degrees celcius, under load (games like BF4, CoD Black Ops 3, haven't tried other games YET!) are around 80 to 104!!!!!! The cooler is running and is installed properly.

Cleaned off the thermal paste, put on new thermal paste, and followed the manual step by step.

Did you install the right backplate? It's possible that cooler doesnt have good contact with CPU, Had the same problem with watercooling because of loose backplate the pump wasnt sitting right on CPU and it got up to 105c degrees.
