i'd check your thermal paste application ie, pull the heatsink , clean with 90% isopropyl alcohol both the heatsink and the CPU's IHS and re-apply. Before re-applying, take a look at this comparison puget sound did using a piece of Acrylic for the heatsink to see what happens with different applications methods, ie pea, rice, lines etc

if that was your first seating of the heatsink, you probably used the thermal paste that was pre-applied by Corsair

you might try a better heat paste like Thermal Grizzly's Kryonaut - do not go for the liquid metal pastes.

Sound like a wrong thermal application to me. Try going for a quality paste like the Arctic Silver 5, and make sure to not lift the block when screwing it down since that breaks the seal and the paste's effect is useless
