I7 920 Overheating

[Guest]

I've reseated my cpu and this is lowest I can get it down too with my case on.

I made sure the heatsink is securely in place and I'm still having these problems. I have two case cooling fans on the side.

The processor is at 130W - is this temperature at load?

Is this the stock cooler? Is the pushpins securely seated? If you're using the stock cooler, turn the PC on its side (HSF on top, mobo on the bottom) and check it temperatures.

If it's an aftermarket HSF, which one is it?

I'm using artic silver 5 thermal and I have used both the line method and spread all around method from their site. Everything is running stock and the temps are when the computer has been running for more than an hour. I'm using the orginal hsf that came with the cpu. I uploaded some pics to show how my computer is setup. I opened the case up to show you inside but I keep it closed within a cubby on the bottom corner, e.g. http://www.ifurn.com/pics/8/golden-oak-furniture/roll-top-computer-desk-new-hampshire-collection.CH54CRT.1.800.jpg
