Your problem is probably a badly mounted stock cooler.
Pushpin mounts are notoriously difficult to get on straight.
You will need some new thermal material, don't try to reuse what Intel initially supplied.
To mount the Intel stock cooler properly, place the motherboard on top of the foam or cardboard backing that was packed with it.
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 direction of the arrow,(counter clockwise) as far as they can go.
Place the cooler so that all 4 pins are oriented over the holes in the motherboard.
The trick to getting it on is to push down on a diagonal pair of pins at the same time. Then the other pair.
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 must be out of the case to do the job.
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.
If you should need to remove the cooler, turn the pins clockwise to unlock them. You will need to clean off the old paste and reapply new if you ever take the cooler off.
Still, I suggest a backplate mount cooler with a slow turning 120mm fan. It will keep your cpu cooler, and quieter. It will allow a higher OC.
Such a cooler need not be expensive. I suggest a Xigmatek gaia or cm hyper21 which should cost about $30.
