Fitted in a GA-M720-US3 motherboard, the cpu is getting too hot - 78 degrees.
According to this
http://www.cpu-world.com/CPUs/K10/AMD-Phenom II X4 940 Black Edition - HDZ940XCJ4DGI (HDZ940XCGIBOX).html
its max is 62 degrees.
The cpu is an upgrade from a phenom 7750 which was running at 58 degrees.
I used this paste

and a 80mm fan on the heat sink.
Any suggestion on how to run the 940 cooler ?
I've already added an extra fan to the case to draw in more cool air.
