soooo...

My 970 chipset board was like that too, the second i overclocked it went nuts so i changed to the 990fx.
I used to use one of these back in the day on stuff, maybe its still viable in this situation?

yeah i might try that
whats the best 120mm fans i can get...some that push out ALOT of air
my cpu socket is warmer than i wanted..but at least its not in danger zone
ill just have to keep an eye on my temps..until i save up more $$ to try real watercooling

Either a Delta or Nidec variable speed fan. They're a little expensive (about $30 per fan) but one is enough for just about any PC and you'll be able to reuse it later on.

I read some revies on those...people had complains that it sounded as loud as a vacume cleaner..
I dont mind a little noise...but they said it was way too loud...
What is are some fans that are somewhat silent but push out lots of air they dont have to be really silent...just not vocume cleaner loud..lol

Any specific brand...not looking for some crazy extreme cooling..just a nice premium brand with lots of airflow..and bearable noice..i dont mind if its a little loud...
Also..could the screws being to tight on my cpu cooler have something to do with high socket temps?

The Delta variable speeds will go down very low. That is especially true if you go for something other than the most powerful one.

That one is actually used in some Dell workstations (not servers) and is next to inaudible at minimum speed.
Nidecs should be similar as long as you don't get one of the older 5 step ones - those buzz pretty bad at any speed.
