The CPU was making things crash at 75-80 degrees, I've just cleaned up the CPU and Heatsink and applied new Thermal paste and run Prime95
Old Idle CPU: 45oC
Old CPU Temp: 74oC
Old NBridge Temp: 90oC
New Idle CPU: 29oC
New CPU Temp: 50oC
New NBridge Temp: 65oC
much happier, let's see how it behaves in real terms
