Hello
I have recently bought a new motherboard (asrock 970 extreme3) and before i had an Asus m5a78l-m/usb3 since i moved all of the parts across to the new motherboard i have been getting high fan speeds (2500rpm) as a result of high CPU temperatures (47c under no load) and when i play something like skyrim or WoW the temperatures reach 60c+ with the stock fan speed of over 6000rpm
I have not overclocked the CPU (FX8120) or atleast i dont think i did as the only thing i changed in the Bios is the fan speed from full on to automatic also i re-seated the CPU heatsink a couple of times re applying the thermal compound (mx-4) using the small dot in the middle method
So is there anything that i can do in order to fix this problem or do i have to buy a new cooler if so what should i buy to run this at its factory clock speed as quietly as possible with a budget of up to £50 i do not intend to overclock within the foreseeable future
here is a picture of the heatsink if it helps :
