The 9700K does run a bit hotter. Though I have to say that 77 Degrees and even 68 degrees seems a tad high especially in gaming for a stock 9700K. I would expect those temps if you were bench testing especially with your cooler which is fairly good. See TechPowerup's review on temps...

The only thing I can suggest is to re-install the Kraken X62 as it just might be that it is not on perfectly and the TIM needs to be re-applied.
