Is the amd quiet and cool switched "on" on the bios? Using low cfm fans in this day of age is pretty outdated- same goees for fans below 50cfm for the case. Psu might be the reason, but I would request you to remove the mobo and check if the heatsink is properly secured to the processor without any visible gaps.
