CPU temps @ 85 and going up (OC Trouble!)

Have my Digital Storm rig for over a year and I basically just installed realtemp/prime 95 to see where things are at.

my setup:
Asus p6x58d Premium
6gb Corsair dom @ 1435mhz with the OC
i7 920 @ 3.7ghz (1.35 v core) - Noctua NH D14 fans
2x 580
HaF 932

I've let Prime 95 run for about 10 mins now and I'm seeing temps at 85. I did not to the OC myself. The OC is what DS put in when they made the comp

This has me a bit worried...any tips for getting the temps down? My plan is to get the new 3930 i7's when they release and I was really hoping to push them to around 4.6ghz on my current air but will make changes if necessary.

Thanks guys!

Those temps are really bad for a NH-D14

Try reapplying the thermal paste and re set the cooler

If that doesn't work, return the CPU to stock voltage and clock speeds
and see how temperatures are then

Also if you do not have enough air flow in your case your 2 580's could be heating up your case temps quite a bit
