I recently applied new thermal paste three days ago, so it should function properly.
Have you attempted to reapply the paste? Perhaps the application or the mounting of the heatsink were not done correctly.
If you're still using the original cooler that came with your processor, I think it’s best to consider it a single-use item because the plastic casing can warp over time. In this situation, you might need to install an aftermarket cooler such as the 212+ assuming it will fit.
Here’s a link to an example: https://www.amazon.com/Cooler-Master-Hyp...212%2B+cpu
Would this particular CPU cooler be a suitable choice? If not, could you suggest an alternative model?
The Cooler Master 212 he proposed is: https://pcpartpicker.com/product/hmtCmG/...212e20pkr2. The following option is this one as well. Both represent some of the most effective coolers for the price. https://pcpartpicker.com/product/93Crxr/...-cooler-h7. I believe the model you referenced would also be suitable. However, if you're aiming to spend slightly less, eliminating the LED lighting is an option.

He recommended the RR212E20P, found here: https://pcpartpicker.com/product/hmtCmG/...212e20pkr2. The next tier is this one as well; both are excellent choices for cooling power relative to their cost.
https://pcpartpicker.com/product/93Crxr/...-cooler-h7. I believe the cooler you linked is also a good option, though if you'd like to save some money, you can forego the lighting.
Thank you very much, I’ll purchase the latter cooler and monitor its performance.
I believe there’s an issue with your computer's software. I am absolutely confident that a more effective cooling system won’t resolve this issue. It appears you might have some concealed malware or spyware running, potentially harvesting data due to high CPU and/or GPU activity. Temperatures of 80-90 degrees Celsius on your CPU are generally not concerning. To investigate, please run: start/run/msconfig.exe, and examine all your services and startup programs. Often, applications are embedded within these settings. Please don't waste money on solutions that won’t fix the underlying problem. Share your list of services and startup items here, if you are unfamiliar with their purpose.
