With standard RAM, perhaps, let's just hope he doesn't have Corsair Dominator or some other RAM with extra tall heat spreaders/sinks.

Lets hope the AF64 brings your temps down.If temps continue to rise to these levels I feel you may need to try it in a different board
I was going to dispute this point, but then I thought to check the power useage for his 5600. My 6000 uses 125w, whereas his 5600 is only supposed to use 89w. If his temps are the same or higher than mine with the tissue paper removed from the front fan [that might be hindering air flow], & with the stock AMD cooler, then something's definitely not right. Having said that, apparently AS can take a few days to "cure" or "settle" or whatever.

@Web-Junkie: It might be a good idea to post your system temp as well when posting CPU temp, might give us a more complete picture of the situation.
