new pc problem..

[Dissolved]

i just bought a new giga-byte ga-7dxr, and after i installed it.. it runs REALLY Hot.. on my other system (one below) ran fine. the new system is running 140F+ 61-82C... and my old system never got above 128F.. im useing the same amd processor and the same hsf... any idea's? i have like 7 fans in the case but its still to hot.. it locks up when i game for like 30mins, and gets really hot when i run antivirus appz and such.. plz thanks for the help..

You should really make sure that your hsf is contacting your core...as it should give you better stability than that.
