So I have a R7 3700X and yesterday I upgraded from my stock wraith prism cooler to a noctua NH-U12S chromax black I noticed that while idle my cpu is in the 50-60°C range so I tried a CPU Z stress test and it immediately spiked to the max temp of 95°C. What should I do? The fan on the cooler is spinning,. I removed the plastic from the bottom of the cooler, and I used thermal paste

How can I check the mountain pressure? Do I just re mount it?

I went to reseat it tonight and noticed that the back plate was not completely fulsh with the motherboard but popped out at an angle. I unscrewed everything and fixed that back plate and reset the cooler. Max temps now under 100% synthetic load is 79-80° C and I'm idling at 35-45° C. Thank you for the help 

 

P.S is 79-80° C ok?
