Phenom II 940 running hot with Noctua NH-12P

Hello.
Some OC info:
Clock: 3600 Mhz
Vcore: 3.440 (stock 3.35)

Temps (in Celsius):
Idle ~ 42
Load ~62+ (I stop at 62) after 5 min occt linpack or prime95.

Speedfan load info:
Temp 1: 45
Temp 2: 62
= Abnormal temps?
Temp 3: 62

I assume 2 and 3 three are NB and SB.

My stuff:
PII 940 with Noctua NH-12P cooler
Gigabyte MA790X-DS4
Corsair TX650
Radeon 4890
My case is Nexus Caterpillar, two Nexus 120mm real silent fans.

I have applied the thermal paste in many different ways.

When I am playing games like crysis it never reaches above 50 degrees. What am doing wrong? Poor ventilation in my case? Maybe I have applied the thermal paste wrong? The NB and SB temps maybe somehow increase the temps on my cpu?

Thanks in advance.

Edit: I'm a fool. Thougt i posted in cases and cooling... Can a moderator please move it there?

62 is the max recommended temperature from amd. And I've seen many people that has a cooler system with this cpu-fan.
 
You're running with an overclock and unlike others who must apparently keep their computers in cold storage or something you probably keep your computer in your room, where ambients are 68+ degrees F. My setup with an overclock gets about the temps you have, so I would not worry.

I'm not sure why AMD would list 62*C as a max temp if they're going to use a vCore of 1.35, could you provide some documentation? iirc for the Q9000 series the max temp was 71.4*C per some documentation I need to dig up. I realize the two procs are not immediately comparable, but they are both quads, mmkay? I hope that's a typo in your post OP...otherwise you have probably the most interesting manufacturer defect EVER.
 
Unfortunately I didn't find any official statement from AMD that 62 degrees is max recommended operating temp. But I've read it on various forums.

Anyway, I only reach these temps while stress testing. But I bought this computer to play on, not run stress test 24/7, so I guess it's nothing to wory about.
