Well you should have just used the pre-applied thermal paste, not going to make much of a difference between a more premium product.

 

The load temperatures are what matter, I think it would be better to run something like cinebench to look at temps while that ran. I would go for a reapplication of the cooler and thermal paste if you have much more extreme temperatures during a benchmark. (85c-90c)

The stock cooler can't keep up. Temps will be high, and potentially too high under load, depending on your case and fans config, i.e. if you don't have good airflow, you're in for trouble. It's good enough to use until you can get something better, but I'd definitely be looking to buy an actually good air cooler in the near future.

Yeah i forgot to type something. The first thing i tried was the pre applied thermal compound. And it was even worse than the noctua one! But i will try the rest of your suggestions.
