The first things I'd look at are whether you are monitoring the core temp or the socket temp and also if there is adequate airflow in the case. As far as the monitoring, I've seen a ton of people accidentally mix up the socket and core, the latter of which is the only one you'd really need to be concerned with. As far as the airflow, I would double check that as well to ensure that there is sufficient flow within the case to clear out any heat buildup.
Also, when you say you applied more thermal paste did you carefully clean the first application off before adding more?

The airflow is all good as far as I know, two fans in the back 1 in the front with the PSU taking hot air and blowing it out the rear. As for the paste, I removed it with rubbing alcohol and got it all of. I have yet to boot into windows yet (as it is shipping in the mail) so maybe I will have different results with a different monitoring system? Not exactly sure how to tell the diff between those two temps, when I boot into bios I have two temps in the far left that say CPU (usually 55) and main board which is about 30.
