CPU Temps way to high please help

First thing is how are you checking your temps? I recommend installing SpeedFan, use it to check all your computers temps, CPU useage, and if supported fan speeds. If it shows that your CPU temp is still high and the CPU is being heavily used then investigate what is hogging it, otherwise check your fans to make sure they're spinning, and that your heatsinks are clean.

The first thing the good folks here need you to do is this Tutorial.

speedfan says 4 of my things are really high i guess? im not sure what else i should see ( T.T ) so what can i do to find out what is hogging it?
also my fan is spinning just fine as always ( i have water cooling)

Thanks alot for the reply!

Your CPU is completely idle so nothing Windows is doing/running is at fault. If you use water cooling and the radiator fan is running fine then the next two things to check are your coolant level and that the cooling pump is pumping. Along with can't forget is make sure it is properly attached to the CPU.
EDIT: Also just to note, although right this time, generally it is safe to ignore the little flame icon, SpeedFan has way too low of a warning temp (50C I think?) and warns you too soon usually. So your CPU (Core) is very hot but still in an acceptable short term temperature range, I believe 95 or 100C is the max for that CPU before it shuts itself off. Also whatever Temp2 and Temp3 are are pretty hot too. But your GPU is acceptable despite the flame icon.

Give this program a try.

I never liked the interface but do have to say it tends to understand more about the hardware than SpeedFan, possibly capable of locating those two temp sensors, which I imagine will be the northbridge as it usually relies on an air cooled CPU to blow air over it.

This is what i see when i open HWMoniter Let me know if im supposed to be looking at a dif tab or w.e

@Herqulees my water cooling is attached to the cpu fine, the fan is spinning perfect, and i can hear the water pumping as always so i don't think there's anything wrong with it (i might be wrong tho)

thanks so much for the replys guys, means alot!

How about the air coming out of the radiator? Is it cool, warm, very hot? Have you done anything in the BIOS to disable the CPUs power saving features? You have almost the same CPU I had on an old gaming build of mine (AMD Phenom II X4 965 Black Edition @3.4GHz) and when I disabled the power saving features in BIOS the temps skyrocketed. From an idle of 25-30C to 55-65C after it was running for awhile.
EDIT: It's called AMD Cool and Quiet and was listed in my BIOS as CPU Phase Control.
