So I build my new pc and got very high temp and I asked what It could be. Some guys on this forums said I need to buy new thermal paste so could someone give advice for some good thermal paste

Did you wipe off some of it? If there isn't enough contact to the IHS and there is air gaps your CPU will start overheating very quickly. Using HWinfo 64 check your temperatures on stress test or gaming.

Overtightening wouldn't cause higher temps. Just buy some thermal paste. Nothing fancy or special. You can find a tube for like $5. The difference in temps between thermal pastes is within a degree C. It's only noticeable when you overclock.
Would this thermal paste be ARCTIC MX-4 2019 Thermal Compound good enought?
