CPU running very hot 100+ degrees F

[Guest]

Can someone please help me?

While playing Borderlands 2 today, I noticed my processor AMD Phenom II x6 1055t (125w) is getting very hot, with temps up to 106 degrees farinheight!
So far, I've:
Applied a fresh coat of thermal paste
Added a fan in the front of my case to help with better airflow, one that's using a molex connector, and very noisy
Hence, my motherboard only has one 4 pin system fan connector.
Could there be something wrong with my processor? I just don't know what to do. Here is a link to my system board, if that helps:

If I do need a new CPU, which one would you guys suggest? I want at least a good quad core for gaming that doesn't get very hot. Thank you.

100F is nothing, if it were 100c it would most likely shut itself down. You are well within temps at 106F, it is running quite cool actually.

Should I get a case with better airflow? Mine is a piece of crap anyway, (Rosewill R103A) https://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16811147010

Your temps are fine. Take a deep breath and enjoy the weekend.

Well, your case does have provisions for fans to be installed. Purchase and install the fans. You will get better airflow and it will be a fraction of a new case.

Would this fan be a good purchase? Anything is better than that used, noisy molex one I had. How much of a difference will I get in temps?

106 F is 50 ish C. Happiness temps for Phenoms.
No worries there.

Your case, according to the specs, will only take an 80mm or a 92 mm fan. That 120mm fan you highlighted is too large.

Should I get a better case then?

I would suggest the fractal design series r3 in the 92mm size. They move a lot of air and are of the upmost quality. Price is solid too. You will be Chilly Willy!!!!!

Save your money on the case and check out those 92mm fans from the same vendor you highlighted.
