yeah, just take off the side panel and make sure the fan is spinning.... if it is, and still overheating, do what the other dude said, take off the heatsink, clean the heatsink and cpu, put new thermalpaste on it, and reapply the heatsink, and see if it still does it.... but make sure you reset all the clock speeds just to make sure your not overclocking

DirtyD, kornowski has the same issue, im not sure what it is tho
Uh Hu!

Dirty, don't use TAT for 100% load. EVER! Your computer will never reach those temps doing anything anyway... Also, they said that Full Load is Ok to do on a stock CPU, but they know what it does to an OC'ed one... So I wouldn't!

Use it for looking at the temp, Yeah, Why not... (If it works for you )

For testing full load on the CPU use Orthos and set it to the CPU stress, small FTTP or something like that, it's more realistic, still not likely your computer will reach those temps, even when gaming, but it's alright...

I got like 55c full load with TAT, but with Orthos I get 46c, which is a LOT better!

Hope this helps!
