can someone help me, i builty pc like 3 months ago, i was getting pretty high temps on my i7-12700k, while just idling around between 47-60c and gaming i hit 85c, im using the ICUE H100i ELITE LCD, when i ran cinebench my max temps was 83-90c, and had a score of 20870 so i decided to take off the cooler clean the thermal paste off because the i was assuming the thermal paste that was preapplied was maybe rubbish, i applied new thermal paste from kryonauts and ran the test again and got a worse score 800 lower and i have no idea why but i did get better temps, not one of my cores went above 85c.. which is good but im not sure if its cause i also did clean out my case fan filters which idk if that would make a big difference in temps maybe idk, any ideas why i got a lower score but better temps? should i wait longer to actually see a real temp change from new thermal paste?
Here is a spread sheet of the temps from core temp program
