1. Don't touch pc parts after use or during, they get extremely hot.....
2. Get a different heatsink as you stated that one doesn't fit
3. Pictures always help

Get the correct heatsink for your CPU/Motherboard or risk destroying the CPU.

Cpus don't hit 200° unless you are looking at Fahrenheit not Celsius. By nature, cpus have built in safety mechanisms to slow down clock speeds/voltages after a certain temp is reached, do this enough and the cpu shuts down instantly. All done to prevent thermal damage to the cpu. At 200°C, your cpu would be fried and the retaining socket a pile of melted slag.

Stock replacement heatsinks are cheap, less than $10 on eBay, or decent heatsinks but better than stock can be easily found for less than $30

53 degrees celsius is a perfectly fine temperature.

You still need the correct heatsink!
