All my fans works. In bios it says my case temp is 37c.
Check to see how well you seated your new heat sink. It may not be on tight enough. If enough of the surface isn't connecting then you will have these problems. FYI 37c is hot for an ambient temp.

Edit: I just read the cooler you bought has MX2 applied to it. Thats decent thermal paste but from what I remember it takes time to cure.
