I have a i7 920 on a P6T deluxe motherboard. When I load setup defaults in the bios the idle temp is around 50c and 80 under load. I have it clocked at 3.9 and the idle temp is the same but under load its 89c. I replaced the stock heatsink with an artic cooler freezer 7. The temps did not chance at all. I have reseated and reapplied thermal paste multiple times and checked for dust. I cant seem to find out why this chip is burning so hot. Is there a heatsink that will actually get the temperature's down or should I just invest in a new chip.

I have the DRAM at 1.66 and the cpu voltage at 1.3250 and the qpi/dram at 1.35, But like I said even when I run the computer at the default bios settings the temperatures are still too high.

I'd first check and feel the air around your cooler when under load. Maybe your sensor is misreading

Everything else in the system is running cool. I put a big ass fan at the open case to see if the temperatures would drop and it did but only by like 3 degrees. The bios temperature reads the same, I got the BSOD after about an hour of Guild Wars 2. I clocked it down to 3.8 with the voltage at 1.3250. I had it at 4.0 with the voltage at 1.35 when it crashed. I'm just not sure what to do.

Can you recommend a new cooler. Like I said I'm using an artic cooler 7 currently and it's not doing much. One more question, do you think it's worth it to upgrade from my p6t deluxe and i7 920 to a z77 saber tooth and new i5 3570k? Or would the improvement in gameplay not be noticeable?
