computer overheats

Hey yall, I have a 2.66GHZ Quad Core with 8GB DDR3 Ram and a 750w power supply, and I have replaced the heatsink with a better than the intel stock one, I also have 2 120mm fan's, I did make sure the fans are facing the correct way, the thermal gel is on there properly, but when I run SpeedFan these are the results I get...

GPU - 58C
System - 96C
CPU - 61C
AUX - 41C
Core 0 - 63C
Core 1 - 58C
Core 2 - 58C
Core 3 - 58C

They all have the flame next to them except or AUX, everytime I run the setup to run Adobe Photoshop it overheats and shuts down, if I run Need for Speed I go through all the settings and when the game is about to start it shuts down. Any help would be greatly appreciated. Thanks in advance.

 

Did you apply to much paste? You need to only apply a small grain of rice and then spread it out or spread it buy punting on the heat sink and twisting it. The layer should be very thin.

 

Agree on the amount and methods.
Too much is as bad as none at all.

 

You don't say what GPU you are running but 58c is not abnormal.(mine is consistent at 85c)
However the ambient system temp at 96c is too high.

Are the fans running at full speed (check with speed fan that they are 100%)

The placement of fans is also important, you need the front fan as low as possible sucking fresh air in and the rear fan as high as high as possible blowing the warm air out.

 

The thermal gel is just right not an issue but here are more specs:




Ultra LSP750 750-Watt Power Supply - ATX, SATA-Ready, SLI-Ready, 135mm

EVGA nForce 790i Ultra SLI Socket 775 Motherboard (E145-2037 ) 1

EVGA GeForce GTX 260 Core 216 896MB PCIe (E145-0262 ) 1

Corsair Dominator 4GB PC12800 DDR3 DualChannel DHX (C13-8216 ) 1

Intel Core 2 Quad Q8400 2.66Ghz 4MB 1333Mhz CPU (I69-8400 ) 1

Seagate 1TB Serial ATA HD 7200/32MB/SATA-3G (TSD-1000AS3 SY )

 

These are the temps for mine (GTX260)right now and it is under heavy load.
So you need further investigation.

 

These are the temps for my other PC (GTX295) it has always had cooling problems but this is under heavy load.
