I'll take a look at it when I get come, my co-worker put it together as I was there but to be honest, I don't know how you can put in the cooler wrong
New one is being shipped, so I'll do a compare test and see if there's a difference.
I fixed OP so it's not confusing (or stupid as fuck).
Overall, the new cooler will come in and then we'll see if it reduces any issues. We'll also take an initial look at the attachment to see if there's any issues and run some tests.

how to put in a cooler wrong:
be pissed off how unreachable the screws are and only screw in 2/4 have it not sit 100% tight and pressed against the CPU put not enough thermal paste on the contact have air bubbles in the thermal paste because you needed more than 1 try put too much thermal paste on the contact
Im sure there are more.

When you take out the old cooler, make sure to properly remove the residue from the previous thermal paste.
Also no way does SMT literally double heat output. A substantial increase sure, but not double.

Thermal Paste? I don't have any of that

I meant that combined with the huge voltage increase as power increases to the square of voltage and the frequency increase too (4400@~1.25 instead of 3700@~1.04)

There was some pre-applied on the stock cooler and there is a tube in the box for cooler that you ordered

Oh god, I hope I don't fuck it up.

Just so you know what to expect if you know nothing at all about this:
Cleaning the old paste basically just means using a paper towel to wipe it off the CPU. For finishing up, just wipe until the paper doesn't get dirty any more. You do not take the CPU out of the socket for this. It stays in the board and you work inside the PC case.
With the new paste, you're supposed to put a seriously tiny drop in the middle of the CPU's surface. The drop should be about the size of a rice grain. Don't move the cooler around after you've put it on the CPU and you're battling with the screws.

with the stock cooler, you need to make sure the knobs on the pins are not turned
|
Just checked. Two of its knobs were loose, so I clicked them back in.

You probably need to reapply thermal paste, if it wasn't making good contact it likely dried out.

Stores are closed for these coming three days, so I will have to try again the 27th, but since I already ordered my cooler for the 2nd, I might as well just use that

Sorry I couldn't find it but what's the new cooler you're waiting on?
If it's not too late or you happen to return the one you ordered currently, this is a really nice cooler (but expensive) assuming your case has enough room for it:

he got a HR-02 Macho Rev.B from amazon.de iirc at ~46 euro - the nh-d14 is ~75 euros there, and not worth the price difference IMO considering he can't run higher than stock frequencies (4.2ghz or 4.4ghz on all cores, depending on how the board handles turbo boost)
46 euros + shipping etc was still kinda awkardly expensive :/ but i think even a hyper 212, while not being that much cheaper (13 euros off what, 60?), wouldn't do the job very well and would still be hot and noisier

Holy Jesus...it's 75€?!
Dang...lol and here I thought 90CAD was expensive. I would've thought Noctua being an European company would have cheaper prices...in Europe.

that macho rev b is more than enough for anything he does to the CPU.

Welcome to everywhere-that's-not-america prices. When i bought my screen last year it was £275 and simultaneously 240 US dollars (about 1.7x more expensive here, given exchange rates at the time)
Big chunks of metal with fans on them are actually one of the areas that we are screwed over the least on

Here where I am, the sales tax for it is 19%. If you take those 19% out of the price, it's 75€ / 1.19 = 63€.

Ah okay, if that's the case then the price is equivalent xD.

The shipping and tax is insane

Yeah...19% is crazy lol. Here in Alberta Canada we have 5% sales tax.
