Have you tried reseating the cooler? If it's unevenly mounted, it can cause those types of issues. Make sure to gradually and evenly the block in an X-pattern instead of one side before another.

have you tried resetting the cooler and checking if you have tightened it down enough?

Just crank it down.... quite hard...

 

and yes, use new thermal paste.... please tell me you didnt use the crap-tastic stuff that comes pre-applied?

The stock paste is fine. I'm not sure if they changed pastes since older versions but NT-H1 hasn't been shown to be dramatically better.

What are your temps? Make sure the pump is running.

Have you tried reseating the cooler? If it's unevenly mounted, it can cause those types of issues. Make sure to gradually and evenly the block in an X-pattern instead of one side before another.

You can reseat the cooler without reapplying the paste as long as you don't touch or remove the paste. 

If temps are too high, you can always replace the paste later. Most of the time, there's little to no difference in performance. 

The H100i RGB Platinum is also pretty overkill for the 7700 and cooling should be ample even with a horrible thermal paste application.

The only reason I recommend NT-H1 is the fact it doesn't seem to set like some others pulling the chip out the socket...

 

But reading back the OP they have an intel chip do this is much less of a concern.
