Yep, looks like gpu, just went on css and it shot up to 68c, which is cooking. I'll get sum paste 2moro and redo it and it shud be ok, mite invest in a better cooler aswell.

my GPU was running at 90 degrees the other day without problems

Redoing the paste isn't gonna help, as it's the standard cooler on it, which is done with some kind of paste sticker. Only sollution is to get a custom cooler, try the ZM-80D-HP from zalman (Image attached), it helped even with my current X850Pro, and did wonders with my previous 9800Pro. (Ask if it fits first )

That's not healthy, it might not crash, but will definitly damage, and give artifacts/unexplainable errors.

EDIT: I assume you mean celcius too, and not fahrenheit

It's not lego - it's a Stickle Brick!

Stickle bricks FTW, ive had a look at a few.

Well when i took the cooler off my GFX card to give it a good clean, i ended up getting that paste everywhere so when i put it back together there was less paste on there, ie, just redo the paste. But no, i will leave it for the time being, no online gaming until i get a new cooler.

Hell yeah tbqfhimo!!!!

Sorted out heatsink for GPU, then i went and killed my cpu, £150 down the drain, new one ordered, wont be here till monday i guess, so wont be around over weekend, ditched the water cooling as i blame that for my problems, stick to normal heatsink i think.

How the fuck did you accomplish that?

Big monkey hand Pug managed to get thermal paste all over his CPU - attempted to clean it and ended up with loads of bent pins - ended up being thrown through a window I think he said...

Ah that's one way to get rid of your CPU... shame really.
