The Slim , is similar to the cooling of a 212 , you should be getting better temps if it's installed correctly.

Can you tell me more about installation problems

Try removing the side panel of case, and see if that eases up the temps.

I removed it and still no changes

What is the ambient temp? What MoBo and case? What PSU?

Use HWinfo, HWmonitor is inconsistent. But anyways, the temps seem quite hot. Run a HD video via Youtube and observe the temps.

It's about ~74

What software are you using to display temps, have you tried installing another software to double check?

The previous fan that i used was just basic Intel fan and i changed because i had a problem like this one . My fan is running at ~1500 RPM. Heatsink is clean
