[solved] New i3-2120 High Temps

Okay, so yesterday I got my new processor and motherboard and set it up. I didn't have any problems installing apart from a RAM issue which was my fault.
So, jumped right onto some games to see how it runs and I noticed my temperatures are insanely high. I took some pictures in case they help at all.

My motherboard is a Biostar H61MH.

Any suggestions of what I could do to fix this, or what could be causing it?

EDIT:
I ran Prime95's max heat for 10 minutes and the system was stable, the Heatsink was also still cool. Is it possible I have a broken sensor?

Inside the BIOS the temperature goes up to 75c, then when I use HWMonitor at startup the temperature is around 42 on boot. Any advice please?

fan profile set?

Heatsink seated properly?

Should be about 20C cooler on load. maybe 10C cooler on idle.

Hey mate,

Can your cpu fan spin? It looks like it might be stopped by your power cable? I'm not sure how accurate that program is that you are using.

Download coretemp and see what your temperatures are with that?

The heatsink doesn't budge, so it's in place properly and the fan is spinning fine.

As for coretemp, it shows the same. This is just after booting.

Heatsink defo not seated properly with those temps, used thermal paste?

EDIT:
Thanks guys, the problem is fixed. All the videos I seen said it doesn't matter which screws you latch in first, but obviously it does.
Been running Prime 95's max heat for a while and hasn't passed 60c yet.

Which is a relief but kind of amazes me that it was stable while running at 100c for an hour before I realized the temps...
