So I upgraded my processor and my temps are really high! When I play bf3 the temps can reach 80 and almost 90. I have an athlon 64 x2 5600+ Brisbane. I upgraded from a athlon 64 x2 3800+(65W). I use arctic silver 5 thermal compound. My idle temps are around 35/45

pretty normal considering you are using old cpu's. it is struggling to play bf3 so it needs to utilized the cores 100% which in turn generates more heat.
