CPU heating issues

I have an AMD 64 3000+ Venice on an MSI Neo4 board, and it used to stay in the low 30s using most applications, and got up to the low 50s when gaming. I recently formatted my hard drive, and now the MSI CoreCenter which I've always used reads the temperature in the high 30s/low 40s regularly and it gets up to the high 50s when gaming. If it gets that high I stop playing the game as I'm paranoid about it overheating. Any reason why it reads the temp so high now?

Sounds to me as if you are getting false reading...I would download Everest@home or some other app and double check...thats the first thing I would do!
 
I downloaded Everest, and its temperature readout seems to match MSI CoreCenter's exactly. I just don't understand why everything is running hotter after I formatted my hard drive. I didn't even open up the case or anything 🙁

Edit: BTW my system/mobo temp stays around 10c cooler than the cpu, and my cpu fan (stock) is twirling right around 1050 rpm, and I think it used to go faster than that...

1) Where you using cool and quiet before?
2) Did you enable a smart fan function when you reformatted (in bios or a windows app such as corecell)?

 
Actually I think I remember fiddling with the cool n' quiet before, and I think the cpu fan used to spin at close to 3000 rpm (that sound right?). How do I change it back to that?
