Temperature problems

Hi, I have a problem with high temperature, the computer idles at 50c-55c after about 30 mins and any load it shoots up to 70c-80c and shuts down. It will idle all day at 50c-55c (maybe a little lower) but once the temperature goes up it takes hours for it to come back down. I have a Jeantech aqua case with a 12cm intake fan, 8cm exhaust fan and a 8cm side fan over the hsf (the hsf is spinning at 2000-2100rpm). I have taken the hsf off many times to reseat it using AS5, temps never get any better or worse. I have checked the cpu for concave IHS, seems ok, no worse than other cpu`s I have. Everything is running stock.

Please could I have advice what to do next? should I add more fans? I have no idea what to do.

Thanks.

does not make any difference with the side open, I can only put a 80cm at the back, I only put a small amount of AS5 in the center.

I have a fan in the side over the hsf, which is best blowing air in or out?

I did try an Akasa 865 hsf, which was no better or worse.

thanks

I thought the Zalman 9500 would be more than ok for my needs. :confused:

I have a fan in the side door over the hsf, which is best blowing air in or out?
