I upgraded my motherboard, RAM, and CPU. Everything worked fine. However, my new Intel I7-6700k is heating up a lot. CPU temperatures are: idle 33-37°C, load 62-73°C. This morning I ran a stress test and got a BSOD error with clock_watchdog_timeout. My specs are: Intel i7 6700k, Coolermaster Seidon 120W single fan water cooler, EVGA GTX 750Ti, ASUS Z170-A motherboard, Windows 10, Samsung 850 EVO 250GB. Are my temperatures too high? How can I lower them by switching water coolers?

Reapply your thermal paste. How did you obtain the 73c? Was it during a stress test or within a game?
