Hello everybody and thanks in advance for your help.
I finished my build 2 months ago and have since always had a problem with my CPU temps. I do have a stock cooler because i want my aftermarket one to be good and i don't have the money yet.
So my processor is an FX-8320E and on idle it runs between 40 and 55 C.

Here are my specs
AMD FX-8320E
ASUS M5A78L-M LX3
8 GB HyperX Fury RAM
GTX 750Ti

I do have the latest BIOS update, so that's not the problem.
I wonder if it's my CPU VCORE that is at 1.440 V max.... could it be that?
Thanks in advance

Whatever CPU issues you might have, the VRMs and power phases of that motherboard are weaker and lighter than I would want to use for a FX 8320E. You are very likely to get thermal throttling of your power delivery under sustained, heavy, gaming loads. You need a higher-performance motherboard.

How are you measuring temperatures? I would want to know what the Thermal Margin is according to AMD's Overdrive software.
