That is too high for normal operation in my opinion.

, as for the PSU, on my previous problem i had updated the psu to this one as it did no meet the required amps for the +12 i believe, upon purchasing this one i made sure it can power my cpu efficently. i also made the effort to change the default thermal compound and heatsink tht came with my processor to cool it, though so far this is the coolest ive got it, the change in CPU temp was the most obvious one at the time, though i have no log of what happens upon or just before the crash:

We must discuss cooling and I know you said you made sure it was correct, but inquiring minds want to know.

Tell me about how many fans, what size (80/120mm), where located, what direction are they blowing??? Which way is your heatsink fan blowing, down on the CPU or pulling hot air up? What kind of cables are you using, the flat ribbon cables, or the round cables? Have you made a special effort to clear all the cables away from the CPU heatsink?(
