Hi! These are my specs:
CPU: AMD FX-8320 ( with stock cooler )
GPU: ATI Radeon HD 5670 1GB GDDR5 ( will upgrade later )
Mainboard: Asrock 990FX Killer
RAM: Kingston HyperX BEAST 8GB (2x4GB)
HDD: Toshiba 1TB, 7200rpm, 32MB, SATA 3
Power Supply: Inter-Tech Energon, 750W
Case: Raidmax Viper GX ( 2 coolers, front&back )
Windows 8.1
--------------------
Ok, so... i've been having some problems:
1. Cpu Temp: 47/60*C while idle, or using Chrome.
When playing Battlefield 3 it goes up to almost 70* C
2. Gpu Temp: 49/60*C, the same issue.
3. HDD Temps are ok, 34* C , but sometimes it gets very slow and when i look at Task Mananger, it says 100% Usage.
This is a new pc, i built it myself, and i've installed everything correctly, the thermal paste is the one that came with the heatsink.
Is my moderboard overclocking my CPU ? Because i don't think it's running on stock settings. If i disable Turbo Boost the temps go up to 80% !! And i can't turn overclocking off from Bios, the lowest setting is 15 % , can you please give me some advice, what should i do ? I know that the stock cooler isn't very good, but i also don't think that 60*C is a good idle temp. Bios is up to date, and it's running on default settings, except that i turned on Turbo Boost so it doesn't get fried. The overclock default setting was " Auto ", now it's 15% and i can't turn it off.

What temperature monitoring programs have you been using? Some are said to give inaccurate temps for AMD CPUs.

Amd OverDrive and F-Stream Tuning(it came with my motherboard cd) I'm sure the temps are right, it also burns like hell when i touch it.

also disable overclock. Turn OC MODE to manual. Under CPU configuration, turn OVERCLOCK MODE to Manual. Change CPU frequency to 200
Keep Turbo mode on AUTO
Change MULTIPLIER to MANUAL, then change multiplier to 18.
Keep all else on auto
Ok, i changed the CPU frequency to 200 from BIOS , but i can't find the option to change the multiplier , should i do this from Amd Overdrive ?
Whoa, Thermal Margin dropped to 24.5 , and multiplier is at 17.50 should i change it to 18 from Amd Overdrive ?

don't use windows software to over clock. Only BIOS.
Multiplier towards bottom. See screen shot i found...

that seems high. Can you turn your CPU fan and Case fans up a bit? put them in turbo for the mean time. you need a better cpu cooler though. get the 212 EVO you inquired about. Make sure your case fans are creating a good pull (front or bottom side) push (top by CPU) environment.All fans are at full speed, i went for x17.5 multiplier , and now it's running at 40 * C , i guess that's quite ok for now, until i get a new CPU cooler, right ? Thanks a loooot i owe you a beer !
