I just replaced the stock cooler on my AMD fx-8320 CPU with a H7 cryorig heatsink so I could play Mass Effect Andromeda without going to 64 celsius, but now under load in MA:A im getting around 67 C and 55 C on a game called Crusader Kings 2 where as i previously sat at around 48 C playing that game. Any tips? I checked the fans they are all working (although slower than before for some reason), but the only thing i can think of is the thermal paste being applied unevenly since I had to screw in the new heatsink (which is really stupid and needlessly harder than the stock cooler...) Any tips?
