CPU Overheating

I recently changed my case to an O11 Mini and am facing serious temperature problems. My games crash after just a few minutes. I have six fans—two 120mm intake on the AIO and four 120mm exhaust fans. I also tried the setup in reverse. I upgraded from a 3x120mm Corsair AIO to a 2x120mm NZXT Kraken. The thermal paste was reapplied yesterday, suggesting good contact. It’s idling around 65°C, but quickly hits over 80 after starting games. What could be causing this?

I verified proper contact by checking consistent engagement signals and confirming alignment during operation.

Not sure if it's perfect, but I removed it, cleaned the surface, re-applied thermal paste, and reinstalled it securely.

1.) Was there assistance given to the cooler while securing it?
2.) Did you secure the hardware until it no longer turned with normal effort?
3.) What quantity of thermal paste was used, and did you adhere to a particular application technique?

It means the change is relatively small.
