A friend asked me to post this. Been trying to help him sort...
I'm having problems with my cooling, meaning my CPU and GPU are
running far hotter than they should be.
Specs:
CPU - Intel q6600
GPU - nVidia GeForce 8800GT (Latest drivers)
Mobo - Gigabyte GA-P35-DS3
Memory - 2GB unbranded RAM
Here's a screenshot of my current temperatures -

When I play a game (Counterstrike Source being an example) my core
temps go up to 90-95, and even went up to 125 until I cleaned out the
CPU fan and re-seated it.
I've updated my BIOS to ensure the temperatures are being read
correctly, turned up my fans to 100% using RivaTuner (made a very
marginal difference, knocked off like 5 degrees from the GPU
temperature), and left the case off in a cool room, and the
temperature is still running insanely high.
I thought the temperatures must be being read incorrectly, but when
they go up too hot I get horrendously bad performance, with my FPS in
CS:Source dropping down to 20-30 with an FPS config and 25 odd
processes running.
Any help greatly appreciated, and if anymore information is required
let me know.
