Hot ???

What clockspeed are you running at? I'm running my Q9300 at 3.5Ghz and it's only hitting around 69C under Prime95 load. Granted, I'm running a much newer cooler then you are, so if your OC is at all aggressive, those temps seem about right, and they aren't terrible. They might shorten the proc's life, but they won't outright kill it.
 
I had Rev A of that cooler and was only hitting mid to high 50s with Prime (and low 30s at idle) with my Q9550 @ 3.8GHz and 1.26v, something is wrong.

Try applying some fresh TIM and reseating the HS.
 
I did a 3ghz clock so nothing earth shattering. I didnt up the voltage and while i am stable the temps worry me a little. I guess i should pay attention to the CPU temps and not the individual core temps ?

I normally always apply too much thermal paste and never really know until i swap out my stuff a year later. So if i am going to pull it to reapply then i might as well get a new cooler. Any suggestions on a better cooler?
