The temperature i mentioned at the beginning is what the nvidia nforce
told me however when i use realtemp it tells me that each core of my qud
core is at 30c??

I am using an armor lcs cooling solution. Should that not be affective

Just wondering what the shut-down temperature is set to in your motherboard BIOS? That and the cooling-fan speed/temp levels factor into your problem. The fan speed should kick up in stages as the CPU temperature rises. With a normal cooler the highest fan speed should be able to keep the CPU temperature safely below the critical level. It's no use my guessing whether your CPU cooler is effective or not, just monitor the CPU temperatures while it is under heavy use to judge that for yourself.

Without knowing exactly which processor you are using we can only generalize about what is a normal or safe temperature. AMD Phenom maximum running temps are near the low end of the scale, others (Athlons, Semprons, Celerons) can run much hotter, Pentiums run cooler.

The page below lists critical temperatures for a range of CPUs:

Your 65C at idle is normal for some CPUs but falls at or even above the top of the range for many others. For example, it would only take a few minutes or less of high use to boost that temperature above the maximum for a Phenom CPU.

Since you've already cleaned and remounted the Fan/HS assembly, my best guess is your fan has slowed a considerable amount or a couple of wads of dust got knocked loose from somewhere and they're now trapped in the fins of the HS, causing the fan to be less effective. ...
