Try cleaning and reseating it first after applying fresh thermal paste.

This is why you should not get an FX CPU for ANY scenario other than rendering on a budget http://linustechtips.com/main/topic/286142-fx-8350-r9-290-psu-requirements/?p=3892901 | http://linustechtips.com/main/topic/266481-an-issue-with-people-bashing-the-fx-cpus/?p=3620861

Just google/search on youtube on how to remove the cooler, also, something like an Corsair H100I should be good and in your price range. Also, your temps aren't extremely bad, could be worse.

CM 212 Evo. 30 bucks here in the states. If you don't severely and abusively overclock your CPU then you can set the fan to quiet mode.

 

This is my motherboard's temperature and fan monitoring software. And TBH, I haphazardly applied the thermal paste. I put no thought into it. It gets up to 50C under load.

Here's the speed of the fan at the different temps.

I get 60 frames at 1080p on a dual core APU. Ask me how.
