Why are you running at 2x the temp? I can't think of a single company that would put out goods that would allow that kind of temp as it would burn up in nothing flat!!

Did you build your own system? Did you build it right if you did? Do you know how to set bios up properly? What kind of rig do you have, especially what kind of MB, and case, and did you use a different fan that came with the CPU?

From what I have seen over time, there are some talented ppl here and no doubt could help you if these and other questions are answered.
