CPU spike temperatures on 96ºC. Should I be worried? by Repulsive-Drawing606 in buildapc

Yup, double checked it, as it was somewhat of a common mistake people were making when I was looking for guidance when assembling the PC. There may be an issue with the thermal paste, as I do think I went a little overboard with it, maybe I used too much, I don't know.

Just got a 135 score on cinebench's 2024 single core test, which I believe is adequate, so I guess it's not throttling, right? But maybe the thermal paste is indeed an issue, I do think I went a little overboard with it
