hey sorry for the late reply, but i've tried:
1) replacing the thermal paste (again!) with artic silver 5
2) turning my two 80mm fans around so that it was blowing in air from the outside
3) turning the CPU fan speed control on and off, to see difference
But, nothings worked......i turned on my computer, left it doing nothing for 30mins, looked at the temperature with everest and it displays my cpu temp at 63c! and my cpu fan going at 3125RPM!
Somethings definatly wrong.......I even tried starting it in safe mode, with little processes.....but still the same temp and fan speed
any solutions?

My feeling is that Everest is not reading the sensors properly, or that the sensors are faulty. Is the computer showing any symptoms of overheating at all? Things like slowing down, locking up or shutting down by itself?

there are times when the computer just suddenly freezes.
But yesterday i managed to take my case apart, clean out the dust and turn the front fan around. So that my two rear fans blow outside air into the case and my front fan blows the air out.
That calmed my computer down to an average of 51c when not doing anything on the computer. Hopefully my New CPU fan should arrive next week! So my computer should a nice "quiet" change

Well that's certainly an unusual way of doing it, but as long as it works OK that's the main thing. Thanks for posting back and letting us know :)
