sounds like the heatsink isnt attatched properly. Take it off, remove the Arctic Silver, reapply AS using only a VERY THIN LAYER. Make sure you attatch the heatsink with the proper orientation, and make sure the clip is on right (I've never used one personally, so I'm not sure how the clip works.) It sounds like you have good enough airflow, so that shouldn't be a problem.

Of course, it may not be a temp issue at all. Also look into driver problems, bad ram, bad power supply, etc.
