I just got a new computer from ibuypower here are the specs:

Processor AMD FX-8320 CPU (8x 3.50GHz/8MB L3 Cache)
Motherboard Gigabyte GA-970A-D3P -- AMD 970
Memory 8 GB [4 GB X2] DDR3-1600 Memory Module
1 x Video Card AMD Radeon R9 270X - 2GB - Single Card
1 x Power Supply 850 Watt - Corsair RM850 - 80 PLUS Gold, Full Modular
1 x Processor Cooling Asetek 510LC Liquid CPU Cooling System [AMD] - Standard 120mm Fan
1 x Primary HD- Samsung 256gb SSD
1 x Secondary Hard Drive 1 TB HARD DRIVE -- 32M Cache, 7200 RPM, 6.0Gb/s - Single Drive

Hello my problem is that my cpu temperatures are very high-around 50 c idle and after I played one game it was way over 70. This is with the asetek lc system. Here is a screenshot of idle temps using both speedfan and the easytune:

The other thing I noticed is that one of my fans on the cooling system is not spinning at all. Here is a picture (my comp is on when this picture was taken):

Does that fan only spin when my temps reach too high? I think its supposed to be always on? I'm a computer noob sorry :( Thanks so much for your time.
Edit: the fan on the radiator only has two connections I could find both are plugged into the mobo in the spots called cpu fan and pwr fan.
 
Solution
Yes, that radiator fan should be running. Check all of its connections carefully. Since you bought this pre-assembled, you may need to call their support line for assistance. You might also find instructions on Asetek's web site.
