HELP NEEDED FAST! Phenom II 965 Temps WAY to high?!?

That isn't too bad. i think that is a 140W TDP chip, so it is going to produce a bit of heat. So, those temps are about right if you are using the stock cooler. It sounds like the power saving is working properly, but try downloading CPU-Z so you can watch the core clock real time. Also, I'd try HWMonitor and/or PC Wizard to doulb echeck the temperature readings.

Don't know if this report will help but here it is:
