Q6600 heating up :(

Ok, so I have:

Q6600 overclocked to 3.0ghz

a thermaltake maxorb cooler

2 antec tri-cool case fans

2 stock apevia case fans

all inside an apevia x-plorer case

(Also I have a P5K SE, HD4870 and a 750W PSU if needed).

I recently changed the fans, because I used to only have all stock.

I have one Antec fan as an exhaust on the back on high, and the other on the side of the case which blows air pretty much straight at the maxorb. I then have one Apevia fan blowing air out of the top and one sucking air through the front. (I should say the front of the case is poorly designed with about 2 slits for airflow)

The temps used to be about 38 idle and 62-65 under stress testing but I was playing bioshock today and when I alt-tabbed out to see how the temps were I saw that the first core was 80! So i freaked out and redid the thermalpaste and readjusted the fan... But I'm looking at my temps now and they're 52 idle... I don't want to stress test them at the moment...

So I'm wondering if anyone would be able to tell me if theres anything that could help me in this situation, could it be the positioning of the fans? The two stock fans pretty much blow as much air as the tricool on low... Also the case is pretty much split in two because the two stock fans are towards the front and the rest at the back...

Sorry about all the writing! Also thanks for any help!

is it 80c or 80F

I think I'm just going to try reseating the maxorb again, which is a pain in the neck because it's so big, but vcore is 1.26.

I'll have to reseat it tomorrow or some other time. I don't see how it could have spiked up so high without touching the fan in the first place though.

@tautitan: I (think) put on the reccomended amount for AS5, I'll have to double check.

Also, I'm really not sure about my bios :P will updating change temps?

Sounds dumb? Noooo! But seriously, I will look, is there a way to check what speed my fans running at? like 60% etc?

EDIT: Also, with thermal paste, is it best to spread it yourself or just let the heatsink spread it?
