Abnormally high CPU & Motherboard temps?

I didnt really monitor the temps before I put in my new msi 970a gaming pro carbon mobo recently, but the temps seem unusually high.

When I turn on the system and let windows load up, the tems are fine, but when I open FL Studio and play a project (one that used to lag a TON on my old arock960gm motherboard due to the mobo being throttled) things start looking like this after a minute of playback https://i.imgur.com/NxyOCT7.png

Are these just the temps I'm going to have to deal with if I wanted to work on FL for hours at a time? How bad are they? I'm using the stock fx 8350 cooler for my fx 8350 CPU. I have a fan in my EVGA 600W Bronze PSU, 2 fans on my GPU, and a fan high up on the back where the ports are. (Along with the stock cooler)

This is what my temps look like as I'm typing this thread with about 9 other tabs open and FL Studio minimized (with the project opened but not playing).

Listening to the noise of my fans when things start to get up there, it sounds like what I'm used to hearing on a pretty consistent basis when working on FL and doing some other intensive things, so was my stuff always running this hot? I've been using the PC for 4 years before I upgraded to this msi mobo. But since my old mobo was being throttled, my CPU temps could have been getting that high could they? So my CPU might be more at risk of high temps than ever.

Any cooling suggestions?



And right now as I'm browsing using google chrome, my fan speeds will seemingly randomly shoot up and I'll check my temps and see my mobo at 70/71 and my cpu at like 60. Didn't really pay as close attention to this stuff before I put in this new mobo so I can't say for sure if it behaved this way before. (Again I still have FL studio minimized)

Omg I reapplied my thermal paste and screwed the cooler down tighter and it does even worse.

EDIT: I have an amd fx card with the msi motherboard. It is notoriously hard to strap on the stock cooler so I loosened some of the screws on the cooler holder thing the first time around. So a loose cooler could have been my problem before... Now this time around, my cooler is definitely tigher, but I was also shifting around the cooler on the cpu a lot more than I did the first time... So I guess that could have messed up the cooling performance? I'll try it again and avoid both of those issues and see what I get...
