After re-apply the thermal paste, I didn't close up the side panel first and after some testing the temp is around there as well.
That was my first time using the thermal paste, I not really sure whether I had applied the right amount of the paste. Tthe thermal paste I used is the syringe typed and I just used about half of the paste from it.

Hmm, that might be more than enough required. It could be the fan you are using itself. What kind of fan are you using for CPU.

For somehow yesterday the temp shoot up to 82'C (OMG!!). After that I rush to the shop to get a thermal paste to apply it on the processor, now the highest temp is 65'C.

my 7200 though i dont o.c. id imagine would never get to that point get some decent thermal grease and remount that fan!

is the heatsink properly fitted? take it off and put it on again and see if it makes any difference, has your case got decent ventilation? imprezawrx500

Actually as like JigglyWiggly said, there's also possible that my power supply unit might be dumping heat on my processor...
The PSU I'm using is CoolerMaster Extreme Power Plus 460w (black colour) and I am not sure whether the fan suck in air or blow it out. Also is it possible to change the blowing direction of the PSU fan?

I'm using stock cooler and I did not overclock it, running at 3.0ghz...
The processor is 41'C when Idle but when I play games, normally it hits around 65 - 70'C... :(
