I bet there are a lot of posts like this but here we go.
I just built a new gaming PC a day ago(config at the bottom). Im not the best at this so I had somenone help me (and by help I mean he did everything). He told that the case was kinda small and he barely managed to fit everything in there (he had to put the HDD under the graphics' card fans) and he also told me that 1 out of the 3 fans from the case wont work cause he cant conect it (again the case is to small). When my PC was done I took it home and tried some of those heat measure programs. I tried 3 different program and each showed almost the same temperature for all the components execpt one: the CPU. Here is a list of the programs and what they show:
SpeedFan: 128C (constant, doesnt go any lower or higher)

Speccy: 36C (varying)

CPU Thermometer: 36 (varying as well)

So is the first program bad or are the other 2 bad?
Also how many fans and what kind of case would you sugest for my build? Should I get a full tower case since I have a mid tower?


PC config:
Gainward GeForce GTX 760 Phantom 2GB DDR5 256 Bit
Motherboard MSI Z87-G41 PC Mate Socket 1150
Intel Core i5-4690 3.5GHz Socket 1150
Kingston HyperX Black 8GB Kit 2x4GB DDR3 1600MHz CL9
HDD WD Black 1TB SATA3 7200RPM 64MB
Corsair CX600M Modular
Case Raidmax Hurricane

EDIT:
The CPU is quite noisy. Anything I can do about it?

Might think of replacing your psu if you still have warranty. I've heard CX isn't exactly known to be corsairs best. As for temperatures, the 128 not varying is wrong. At 100C your cpu starts throttling, a bit higher and it would melt. 36C seem reasonable for idle temps. What are your loard/stress temps? If those are alright, may as well keep your current case.

Thought as much but you never know... When I saw 128C while being idle I was like HOW??
 


Haha. So did your desk leave a mark?Or was there steam coming out or smoke?

I didint do any stress tests yet. I guess I should.


EDIT:
I know these tests should take a few hours but only did a small test. It went from 36 to 64 in a couple of minutes and then it went to 66-67. The whole test around 10 minutes and it seemed that if I were to let it go it would go 1C up every so often.
I used StreeMyPc with the agressive cpu stress option and I used speccy to measure.
Im going to do a longer test when I have the time and the patience :)

EDIT2:
My CPU seems to make quit a bit of noise. Anything I can do about it?
