Hello! Guys I need help on my rig. My core temps gets freakin high 54cel idle then it goes 70++cel on load and all my settings is set on stock/defaults

here are my specs
PROC: FX6100
PSU: FSP RAIDER 650w 80+
RAM:8gb G.Skill @1333
GPU: GTX460
MOBO: Asrock Fatal1ty 990fx (latest BIOS)
HDD: 1tb Seagate Caviar blue
Cooler: Antec h620

I just upgraded my MoBoard from msi's 760GM-P21 (FX) back then my temps were stable idle @ 12-13cel and load @34cel on stock settings, after I've Installed my new motherboard my temps got really high please help me guys :(
 
My guess is that something is wrong with the H20 cooling system:
1. Maybe the water block is not seated correctly
2. Maybe the TIM is not spread correctly
3. Maybe you have an air bubble in the lines (vapor lock, in effect)

I would first remove the water block and check the pattern of the contact by how the TIM looks.
 
post a pic of the block and cpu if you can.

here is a pick of my waterblock after dismounting and a pic of the amount i was useing, it's just a tad to much most of the time.
