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!
