Hi,
I have the following system.
Phenom II X4 955 BE
GA-880GM-UD2H
CORSAIR 450VX
Cooler Master elite 310
2 X 1 120mm Fans (Noctua NF-S12B FLX 120mm fan + preinstalled cooler master 120mm fan)
My room is well ventilated.
I get 51/52 ‘C when my system is idle. If I start watching movies or surf the internet, it goes up to 59/60’c. I don’t play games and I don’t over clock ether. Firstly, let me start by saying that I am not an expert on computer related things, but I have tried my best to narrow down my heating problem. Right now, I can only think of three possible suspects.
Voltage: I know absolutely nothing about this. I am sure you guys will see my CPUID results and let me know if anything is wrong.

Thermal Compound: Initially, I had ordered a GA-880GM motherboard from my dealer, but he gave me some other motherboard. A few days later, a person came by to replace the wrong motherboard, and during the replacement, some of the thermal compound was lost. Do you think this could be the problem?
AMD Stock Fan: ones my stock fan goes above 4500 RPM, It starts making a loud humming sound. I have heard a lot of bad things about this stock fan. I was thinking of getting a new one. Possibly a Cooler Master Hyper TX3. What do you guys think? Do you think this is the right cooler for my processor? BTW my budget is 2k.
Thanks
