Time to disassemble & look. Else gonna fry that CPU.

I'm guessing that during the transfer between cases, you probably knocked the heatsink out of position and there is not optimal contact between the two surfaces. Some thermal paste maybe be all you need, just remount the heatsink and see if that fixes the problem.
Since the CPU is running at stock speeds, the stock heatsink should be adequate.
My guess is improper contact.
okk i just bought thermal paste, god its a bitch to put on.
atm its stable at 54c thanks heaps guys ^___^
it was a bitch to get out, like it was in a syringe and i had to push it out my hand was like shaking, and im not a scrawny kind a person haha.
then spreading it over the cpu it didnt seem to want to spread evenly so i spent 20 minutes trying to make it perfect haha.
its so much quieter now i love it, its 50c~ idle and 62c max under stress
now to install osx86 on it ^____^
It works best if you use a credit card or something of similar characteristics to smooth the paste over the chip evenly.
Your temps may even drop a few more degrees after the paste settles in. Although they still do seem higher then my liking...
its around 58~ now under general use, apparently (so im told) its quite normal for a prescott. i used a little card that came with the paste(the paste was just way thick and not sticking to the cpu) i think it might also be my room having the tv, xbox, laptop, and desktop on all the time it tends to get way hot here, especially with the stupid weather were having in aus >_<.
my current problem is windows keeps popping up with "SM Bus Controller" found but i can't find drivers anywhere (i tried SiS, Acer) i just seem to be going around in loops.
SM bus drivers are part of the chipset driver pack.
"I am the one who knocks."- Heisenberg
which is proving to be one bitch to get a hold of, i just gave up on trying to get them.
acer has really shit driver support
and sis sends me all over the world for nothing haha.
cpu just hit 71c :| i have the fans running @ 100% all the time (i was putting a fair bit of stress on it tho)
you never want your temp to be highter then 50 c ever! YOu could depending on the computer and cooling system you have but as long as you have a proper cooling system, good room temperture, and proper heat sinking with thermal glue you should be ok.
Excuse Me?
Didn't Think So!
