212 evo is running at 60 degrees during idle?
I've been searching everywhere for assistance, but I'm still struggling to find any. Here is my degree information: http://imgur.com/NBLDKZO
The backplate is installed properly.
The best approach would be to open your BIOS and look at the temperature there. The data from AMD's software is a bit complicated. Thermal Margin isn't the actual temperature reading, but rather the gap between your current temperature and the highest possible temperature. In short, your CPU is at 60°C compared to its maximum, which is acceptable.
What's your issue and how many fans do you have? I applied thermal paste, and recently someone had the same problem with a cooler. It turned out they didn't have the correct backplate on the motherboard, which caused poor contact between the cooler and the CPU.
A visual aid can be useful, isn't it? Is the backplate correct? Did you properly install it on your motherboard? And what model is your CPU?

You likely installed something improperly.
I installed it two days ago, replacing the stock one for an i7 4771.
Since my motherboard has an LGA1150 socket, I used the middle spots for screws.
I also had to use larger screws instead of the smaller ones, which affected the installation.
This depends on the CPU/socket you're using.
Your temperatures dropped to around 28-31 before reaching 35+, and at full load to 50-54 (before hitting a max load temperature of 72).
Make sure you've tightened everything as much as possible.
When trying to move the cooler clockwise or rotate it, it should not shift.
