Re: major unsafe computer temps got me very worried!!

sounds like a thermal paste issue, and that heat sink is very old and not meant for more modern processors. i would recommend a different one personally but its your choice. psu isnt the best but that wouldnt really effect heat so dramatically. did you securely mount the cooler when you put it on? and did you completely clean off and correctly reapply thermal paste?
