You may have affected the mobo by under powering it from the start??
Have you updated the drivers for the video card, the mobo's bios? The cards
fan/heatsink working ok..? How many fans are in your system altogether..? I
have 5 80mm fans plus the 2 on an Antec TruePower 430w PSU.. Try this, remove
the side panel, get a house fan too disperse the heated air in the case, see
if the problem subsides.. Also, did you apply thermal paste to the cpu before
attaching the heatsink..?
