Hello Rudy
Sounds like things are getting on the warm side . Can you give us your
system spec,cpu clock speed -as much info as you can.
Semprons should not go over 60c under load (overclocking)
What's the fan speed? Does it match Thermaltake's spec?
You could could try refitting the heatsink.Clean with alcohol and apply
just a paper-thin layer of paste. Don't overdo it.
Leave the side off and make sure the fans are working.
Blow out the box with compressed air, turn the central heating down,
make sure the box has plenty of space around it.
Good luck.
