Can i get some help with cpu temps?

[McGamer]

I have built a new computer and i kinda had a bad experience installing the CoolerMaster TX3 cpu cooler. I managed to install it except its kinda crooked and i feel like that's the problem. On idle i am getting 50-60c! I ran passmark and tested the cpu it went up to 70-80c! Also note i don't have any other fans... I only have the cpu fan and a fan on the front of my case. I can get one for the back and one for the top. Would that help? Should i also reinstall cpu cooler? If i do what type of alcohol is recommended. And my cpu fan is facing towards my graphics card because i have an fm2+ motherboard and it uses a different mechanism. And i don't think the fan will fit the other way because of the motherboard heatspreaders. I know this is a lot but i really need some help its my first time building a pc and i need tips from others. Thanks you.

You need to remove it then but it back on again. One or more of your mounting pins may have been improperly inserted. When you remove it, check to see if it is bent. If it IS bent, then its sadly probably your own fault because you most likely installed it with the finesse of a polar bear.

There are no pins its like the stock amd cpu cooler. You push the mechanism either left or right to unlock or lock it

Oh, right, amd... well then its the tension bracket then. Either way you need to remove it to see if you bent it. Sometimes its just a matter of the cooler itself not being screwed to the tension bracket properly.
