Sickbeast, since when is 40C a serious case temp? And first let me ask how you measure your case temp? Isn't the mobo temp the case temp? And since when is 21C the average room temperature? I thought it was 25C/77F (SI standard).

I think 40C is perfectly fine for load if your ambient temp is 25C. The max I have gone up to under load is 51C at ambient room temperature of 38C with no a/c.

Okay everyone thanks for your help! In the end it WAS the PSU that died on us! Thank God! Neways, we purchased a new 450W power supply and everything seems to be working fine. We put put his CPU down to 2.1Ghz and put his voltage back to stock just to be safe. Thanks again everyone
