Running an ASUS P5S800 motherboard here in KSA.
After reading the above post I checked and was shocked to find my CPU at 90C.
Went into the program that came with the motherboard and found that you can increase CPU fan speed which is factory set at 600 rpm
I increased the speed to 3000 rpm dropping the temp to 60C.
This also with removing one side of the case.
Max speed is 6000 rpm.
When I built this thing I forgot to add the paste between the CPU and fan.
Will add this tomorrow and it should lower the temp quite a bit.
