problem solved, i have changed the thermal compound and i bought a new heatsink (CM TX3 evo) and now my cpu temp (after 30 minutes in prime95) is 51 celsius :D thanks for the help :)

hello, i have a problem with my system, i recently bought a new mobo (asus m5a97 r2.0) and my cpu temperature is much higher than on my old mobo...but the weirdest thing is that the asus heat sensor shows that my cpus (fx-4100) temperature in idle is 44 celsius , however another software (open hardware monitor) shows that my cpu temp is 28 celsius in idle, i have checked the heatsinks they are properly attached ,so which software one is right? not to mention that after 5 min of prime 95 asus heat sensor shows that my cpu is at 68 celsius but the open hardware monitor shows that it's only 50celsius...and i have noticed one more thing,when i go to the BIOS my cpu temp after 10min goes up to 79celsius,can anyone help me?please
