Cpu overheating with new heatsink + thermal paste

[Markercartoons]

So I'm building a simple esports rig for my dad so he can get into gaming, I'm using an old pc I had, the pc specs are: Intel Core I3 3240 @3.4Ghz, Gt 1030, 8gb of dual channel ram with an Asus 1155 server motherboard.  The pc had an overheating cpu so I bought a coolermaster Hyper T2 to cool it, I used new thermal paste and I run the pc and the temps are ranging from 70-92 degrees celsius, what they were before. The program I'm using for measuring temperature is speedfan. Am I getting a faulty reading, is my heatsink not on properly or do I need a new cpu? There are pictures below of the thermal paste. 

 

Thanks in advanced.

That looks like a shitload of paste, just do a pea sized dot in the middle and place the cooler on.

Could try tightening the screws harder to increase pressure on the CPU, but it's also possible that paste inside the CPU has dried up.

Try a different monitoring program. 

 

You could cool that cpu with a shoe, Id be checking with different software.

 

Try coretemp, hwmonitor and hwinfo64.

Compare the results with bios reading at ilde. Note: bios uses a single core so windows idle temp should be a tad lower.

Core temp gave me temperatures of 30 degrees Celsius so the program I was using before was giving me bad readings. But anyway all fixed now. Thanks a lot.
