Hello guys

I have an intel core i5 3470 3.2Ghz and a coolermaster seidon 120v ver2 and after I cleaned my pc I ve got high temperatures!
I reapplied thermal paste 4-5times with different ways and the connections I think they are fine because they are pretty simple!The position of the cooling system is exactly the same as before!
Before cleaning i had 30-35C on idle and 55C with prime95 and now 40-45C on idle and 70C on 100% usage with stress test!I checked the temperatures in the BIOS/UEFI too.
Should I be afraid for any damage that can be caused to my cpu??
Any suggestions how to solve this?

Temps are still safe even though they are much higher.

What paste are you using and how are you applying it? Is the fan spinning on the water cooler? Is the water block connected snugly onto the cpu? Check to make sure the fan curve has not changed on the water cooler.

Maybe radiator got clogged with dust when you cleaned internal of your chassis?
Try blowing air from outside(hold the fan or remove it cause it can cause damage to its circuit or mobo if it spins).

The paste I am using is coolermaster E1 IC Essential and i just put a small amount in the middle of the cpu!The fan is spinning fine and the water block is connected like before in the cpu!I cleaned the radiator too so there is no dust on it!
