Hi,
I have recently built a PC with an i7-6700 on a Gigabyte GA-Z170XP-SLI.
I am using the stock cooler that came with the i7, although I have also purchased a Cooler Master RR-212E-16PK-R1 Hyper 212 Evo (because I didn't realise that the 6700 came with a fan). When I placed the stock fan on the board I didn't click it in properly and so lifted it up (and noticed that the thermal paste had been disturbed) and then put it back and clicked it into place.
I have run some tests with Prime95 (using both HWMonitor and RealTemp GT to check the temperature). Using both monitoring tools I have measured up to 87C on some cores. I believe that this temperature is too high, and I'd just appreciate some advice on whether there is likely anything wrong with the components or setup.
I ran the Small FFTs test on Prime95 today, and took the following video of the HWMonitor output (which shows the temps, voltages and other CPU and motherboard info).

The video is too long for me to ask you to watch the whole thing, but the highlights are at around 9 minutes (84C), 13 minutes (85C) and 16 minutes (87C), and then I stop the test at 17:20.
I wonder if anybody could please have a quick look and let me know if there is anything that looks wrong, and whether there is anything that I need to do.
Any thoughts would be much appreciated!
