I just built my computer with the x4 940. When I was done installing the os I downloaded Speed Fan and saw that my CPU temperature is idling at 49C. I'm using the stock fan that came with it. I don't know if I accidentally smeared the CPU fan grease off while I was putting it on the CPU or if the stock cooling is bad. If its the fan's problem then I'll buy a new fan. I'm looking at the Zalman 110mm CPU fan. It only has 3 pins, but my fan right now has 4. While connecting the fan to the motherboard will any sensors or fan features be lost?

Have you checked if your thermal paste was applied wrong?

I just poped in to radioshack for some arctic silver 5, when I got the fan off the grease was all on the side of the cpu. I turned it too much. I lowered the cpu voltage and its hovering at high 30 to low 40s.
