Solution
You need to apply new thermal paste between the CPU and the fan when installing a new cooler.
If you do not then the new cooler will not be able to do its job (removing heat from cpu) and you wll actually overheat and possibly damage cpu.
Many aftermarket coolers come with their own paste but if you did not remove the original paste from the cpu then you need to take it back apart and remove all the paste and apply new paste.

Outside of that there is nothing more you need to do besdies plugging it into mothebroard. There is no drivers or settings you need to worry about.
The only change is that the CPU should be cooler under load.
