My System:
AMD FX 8320 (Stock Cooler)
GIGABYTE GA-990FXA-UD3
The CPU is not overclocked, I have it set at failsafe defaults in BIOS, but when I tested it on Prime95 the core temperatures went up to 67C within 10 minutes, above the 62C recommended limit from AMD. The high temperatures I can only guess are due to the low CPU fan speed: when at 100%, it only turns at 3700rpm!
I went into bios and turned off auto fan control, enabling 100% cpu fan speed at all times, and it only turns at about 3700rpm. This can't be right, can it? I mean, the stock cooler should be sufficient for running at stock speed.

3700rpm is really fast lol. maybe try reapplying some artic silver 5 thermal paste and also cleaning your heatsink and cleaning all the dust inside your system around fans and whatnotEdit* 3700 is crazy fast it should sound like a hurricane lol
3700 is slow? It's not very loud at all, and I saw other people discussing their stock 8320 coolers and talking about 4500 or 5000 rpm. For example, this thread: http://www.tomshardware.com/answers/id-1825536/amd-8320...

Stock cooler should be fine at stock speeds but prime 95 is about as hard as you can push your components. That's a really nice MB and CPU, just buy a 212. The 212 is really inexpensive and that processor is begging to be overclocked anyway. Yes, I'm sure I could grab a 212, and maybe I will, but I'm surprised that it can't even cope at stock speeds! Surely that can't be normal?

Well to increase CPU fan speed, try out SpeedFan. You can change your fan speeds as well as monitor the temps. Download it, open it, and you will see some fan controls. Increase and decrease to your need. (Note, GPU fan to 100 might blow your ears out, but will not cause damage to your system)
Or buy a good aircooler, like Hyper 212, and do this as well.
