So I recently discovered that playing games at 70-80c cpu temp isn't very good especially if your not even overclocked. Therefore I looked into buying myself a Kraken x61 240mm cooler. I've also ran into a few issues with gaming and the only issue I can think of is because of these high temps.
I have yet to replace it because I'm worried about my cpu being stuck to the heatsink, and the last thing I need to do is damage the pins on on a i7 6700k. However I've only had my pc since late January, so I don't think that would even be possible, right?
I've also seen a few comments regarding the x61 and the s340 case. How well do they fit together and do I even need to remove my motherboard to replace the cooler? And for the installation, are there any specific things normally not mentioned that I should be aware of, or am I just overthinking it?
Thanks for whatever answer you guys have to my questions, I just get really paranoid when working with an expensive build. I like to have all my worries in check.
