Question CPU overheating

[Whitehat01]

My CPU keeps overheating when doing larger task.

For reference, I have a i7-7700k, stock clocks at the moment. I've had it for about 2 years now. It was working fine, temperatures around 35C idle with a TT Riing Floe. My case is a LianLi 011 Dynamic.

Decided to dust and replace the thermal paste (I've done it a lot of times, grain of rice method, ect). Noticed that my temperatures were higher by ~5C. Let the paste settle and it went back to around 32C.

Then I started doing some video editing and photo editing and light gaming. Lately, my PC goes to 90+ doing this and idles at 55C. I've replaced the paste, checked the cooler, made sure no fans or filters were clogged. Everything looks fine.

I'm at a loss now. Any help would be appreciated.

Because you got the issue after the thermal paste replacement, and just check the cpu socket to see there is any paste left, or bent pin, if you did remove the cpu during the clean up and paste replacement.
