Hi, I have the Hyper 212 Evo cooler and I have had it positioned like this for the past year:

Anyways, a fellow member (USAFRet) told me that push is better than pull. My idle temps are around 30-35 C, but when under load it reaches to mid 60 C, depending on the game. However, I have done Prime95 and while I do get around mid 60 C when stressing it on the Blend option, but nearly 90 C on the Small FFTs option. On AIDA64 I also get around mid 60 C while testing it on that. Should my temps be lower? If so, should I re-position my cooler? Or, is it possible that my thermal paste was applied wrong? Thanks!

fan position generally facing to RAM !

no detailed CPU speed under OC or default, as long as max temp below 70C your CPU is safe, 90C for blend must worried, just play game and enjoy your work and SEE your temp CPU load if below, i think your CPU does not run 100% everytime.
