Thermal paste help!!!

[laushik]

So I made my first gaming pc about a month ago and for my i7 6700k I had an h100i and when I was building it I put the cooling block onto the CPU, but then I realized I put the wrong standoffs so I took off the cooling block, placed the right standoffs and replaced the cooling block. I knew I should have reapplied the thermal paste in case of air bubbles that cause heat, but I didn't bother, But now when I'm gaming my temperatures average around 50c and hit up to 55c(this is with my CPU over clocked to 4.5 GHz at 1.325v). And when I stress test my CPU on Aida 64 for an hour the max temp was 72c( Also at 4.5 GHz. I don't think that is normal temps and I'm afraid I have air bubbles so I ordered some artic silver 5 and I will reapply it. Will that help or make the temps worse? Also my cooler is pulling cool air from the outside of my case so the temps shouldn't be that high. Pls help. Thanks

Might help and if done right can't hurt. Sounds like average Temps to me.

i would say for that overclock at that load is average temps but may give a *c or 2

It won't worsen your temp. The worst case scenario you can get by reapplying the TP: nothing changes. 

The temp you got now looks pretty normal to me. I won't be worried about it.

Seems overall fine. Unless refitted inproper bubbels should not happen.

And where's the problem? Those temps seem pretty fine to me...
