First build. It's a Ryzen 5 2400g with the stock cooler and a MSI Tomahawk B350. It booted up well but I thought the fan sounded strange and the install was not easy so I took the fan off, reapplied thermal paste. Immediately on starting up the temperature is up around 100 and even over. So I very carefully clean the paste and reapply. I've done this 3 times. Could bad paste even cause temperatures this high? Nothing works. There is nothing I can see on the board. Everything looks clean. Any ideas? Maybe I should take it to a computer shop.
The paste I'm using is from a Noctua fan that I received that does not have screws so I can't attach it. The paste is called NT-H1.
Please help.
