Hello! I am experiencing high temperatures while heavy load and I am actually surprised that my cpu is working because before I wasnt monitoring temp but I was expecting heavy performance decrease in some games in some locations from like 60fps to 25fps so I turned on monitoring and realised my CPU is superoverheating and it makes GPU to work from 100% to about 60-70%. I tried to change thermopaste but it did not help at all but cooler seemed to be fine. So I checked its RPM and it ran on 2000RPM on maxload while getting 90-98°C, yes you are reading right I am getting 98°C very often while heavy load and my PC still works totally fine and never had any stability problem or any forced shutdown or something like that. My cpu is not even overclocked it just runs on stock clock so stock cooler should be OK to cool it tho but I think that 2000RPM isnt the max or is it? It seems to be pretty low I thought these fans can reach at least 3500RPM. I tried various bios settings but it never helped, always 2000RPM max.
I5 2500k stock cooler RPM

I think your cooler mount may not be good.
Nudge the cooler and see if it moves at all.
Look at the pins from the back of the motherboard.
All 4 should be through and locked.
Regardless, I would replace the cooler with a simple tower type cooler if you have room.
160mm height will fit a scythe kotetsu or a cm hyper212.
Cryorig H7 will need only 145mm.
Each uses a quieter 120mm fan and costs about $35.
----------------how to mount the stock Intel cooler--------------
The stock Intel cooler can be tricky to install.
A poor installation will result in higher cpu temperatures.
If properly mounted, you should expect temperatures at idle to be 10-15c. over ambient.
To mount the Intel stock cooler properly, place the motherboard on top of the foam or cardboard backing that was packed with the motherboard.
The stock cooler will come with paste pre applied, it looks like three grey strips.
The 4 push pins should come in the proper position for installation, that is with the pins rotated in the opposite direction of the arrow,(clockwise)
and pulled up as far as they can go.
Take the time to play with the pushpin mechanism until you know how they work.
Orient the 4 pins so that they are exactly over the motherboard holes.
If one is out of place, you will damage the pins which are delicate.
Push down on a DIAGONAL pair of pins at the same time. Then the other pair.
When you push down on the top black pins, it expands the white plastic pins to fix the cooler in place.
If you do them one at a time, you will not get the cooler on straight.
Lastly, look at the back of the motherboard to verify that all 4 pins are equally through the motherboard, and that the cooler is on firmly.
This last step must be done, which is why the motherboard should be out of the case to do the job. Or you need a case with a opening that lets you see the pins.
It is possible to mount the cooler with the motherboard mounted in the case, but you can then never be certain that the push pins are inserted properly
unless you can verify that the pins are through the motherboard and locked.
If you should need to remove the cooler, turn the pins counter clockwise to unlock them.
You will need to clean off the old paste and reapply new if you ever take the cooler off.
