CPU getting extremely hot even at low loads
So, here comes my update.
I installed the D-15 today BUT with a bit of a twist...the second D-15 fan wouldn't fit height wise into my case so I took the small U12S fan and used it as the second one so I might say I have a 2 tower and 1.5 fan cooler setup now.
Temps wise when playing HITMAN, where I would be getting 64-76 degrees on the core with ambient temps at around 26 degrees,
I now get 68-72 degrees stable (notice it doesn't jump around as much anymore too, the temps are more stable).
Now, this might not seem like anything happened but today is an especially warm day and it is 32 degrees for the ambient temp, still, it manages to maintain what the U12S would only be able to barely hold at 26 degrees ambient. The temp spikes are also gone and I assume it will be way lower than that when ambient temps go back to what they were when I tested the U12S - seems to me it really was an underpowered cooler what that CPU, in my specific case and setup at least.
EDIT: Thank you to everyone who gave suggestions, especially for adjusting the Voltage, as well as just in general helping me building a clearer picture of what was going wrong.
