I don't think my corsair h60 cooler is making good contact with my i7 6700k CPU. I also have a z170n gaming5 mobo. I tried using a pea sized amount of thermal paste but was getting high temperatures (around 90) so I checked, and the paste was only covering about 50% of the CPU.
I checked everything multiple times and don't know why I need to use more paste to cover the CPU, but that's the only way to keep temps down around 25 idle and 80 max load. Seems like something is causing the cooler to not make close contact. Halp!
