Ok so, long story short:
I built a pc two months ago with a i7 6700k and a nh-d15, the specs is in my signature. I tought my i7 6700k was getting to hot. Around 70 degrees on aida64 and prime95 v26,6. I tried to reapply the thermal paste many times but it did not help. I sent it in to intel, and they gave me a new one.
When i got the new one back, installed it, and boom 57 degrees on prime95 26,6. I asked someone here on thw forum and they said it was okey, but actually slightly warm.
Because of that, i changed the thermal paste again. The noctua nt h1 that came with the cooler was empty so i used some Arctic mx-4. After reapplying i got around 63 degrees. Six degrees warmer. Then i reapplied again and again, nothing helped. I then set the voltage down from 1.264 (auto voltage) to 1.200 v. I came down to 56 degrees on prime95 v26,6.
If i took down the voltage the first time when i got 57 degrees, i would probably get around 50 degrees, lol
Then i ordered some more noctua nt-h1 to see if that paste was better than the mx-4, but it was not, now it is even worse. It is 55-56 degrees on prime95 v26,6. But when playing some Cs:go for a while, it shoots up to 58 degrees.
What have i done? Why was the temps so good when i got the new cpu but now it's worse and i cant get them back? I know it is not critical temperatures, but why cant i get them lower again?
Thank's.

I do not know how it changes so much though. Earlier today she went up to 56 degrees. Maybe because i moved my pc to the floor instead of having it on the desk?
