ouch, that Stock Heatsink is prob killing your comp. Try a aftermarket one, i might be a little loud, but my "prescot" at idol runs about 48 - 50 C which is realy good considering stock is about high 50s, (i hope) anyway, try to make a wind tunnel through your computer, like a fan in the front and a fan in the back at LEAST. Gl man!

if you're sure its the cpu fan then the best thing to do is to replace it. I had the same problem except it was my graphics card.
