The results look good.
If Prime95 is running all cores at 100% then it's working.
The low temps aren't bad, just unusual, maybe thats normal for your CPU.
Run Prime95 or LinX for 30 minutes, as you mentioned.
If it passes, install the other RAM stick and run Prime95 or LinX again, if it passes you can use your computer normally and see if it remains stable, play your most computer stressing/demanding games.
Memtest86+, Prime95 and LinX are good testing apps but it's not impossible for the problem to return.
There can be several reasons for this, hopefully it will run stable.
If the tests don't pass, give detailed info here and we'll proceed to the next step.
Let us know the progress.
Edit:
That TMPIN2 82c, is a bit high.
Will depend on your motherboard what that is for, from your pics it's not CPU, GPU or HDD.
Might be NB temp, if your friend can hold his finger on it, it can't be 82c.
Might be case temp, which would tell me that the sensor is bad.
Has it always been like that?
You can try this:
I have this same "issue" with my Phenom II x4 940 (in both Speedfan and CPUID Hardware Monitor).
Speedfan is displaying inaccurate values. There are two kinds of temperature monitoring devices in place on motherboards, thermistors and diodes. If the diode is set to read as a thermistor it will give you unusually high numbers as you're seeing, and I'd imagine the opposite is true of a thermistor being read as diode (although I haven't experienced this personally).
To remedy the issue in speedfan, select the "configure" button on the "readings" tab.
Select the "advanced" tab.
On the "chip" drop-down menu there should be two choices, "AMD K10 at..." and another that is specific to your motherboard. Choose the one that isn't "AMD K10 at..."
There should be a list of values in the box below the drop-down menu.
On my machine the first three under the "Property" column being:
Temperature sensor diode 1
Temperature sensor diode 2
Temperature sensor diode 3
The "Value" column adjacent to these indicates whether it is being read as a thermistor or diode.
You can select one of these values and then in the "Set to" drop-down menu below set the "Value" to thermistor or diode.
---------
In my case the "Property" said diode right in the description and the "Value" was set to thermistor so it was fairly straight forward to just switch the "Value" to diode and the temperature came to a much more realistic ~35C.
