i just installed my new artic cooler and a athlon 64 x2 5000 chip and im getting readings of around 60c at start up from both bios, everest and speedfan after 10 minutes of bf2 its around 70-80c.

using the standard cooler it was about 40-50c, i found the artic cooler is only running at 845-900rpm, is normal?

edit: havent yet overclocked any part of this machine
 
my cpu is at 1.30v

i used AS5 between the chip and sink, just a dab like shown in the manual
im using an artic freezer 64 pro, i cleaned the standard pad off before use and the old compound from the cpu

i had bent a few of the pins a week ago but straightened them back out, could that explain the problem, each core is running at 48c
