When was the last time you cleaned your PC for dust and dirt?

Also are your fans set up properly? you should have a fan in the front of the case for intake and one in the rear for exhaust ATLEAST.

 

Additional fans should be intake on side panel and exhaust on top of case if you have those.

 

Also make sure the tower isn't completely encased in a desk or something

Ohhh a 555 be, i am literally the king of that chip.

And yes it is way to fucking hot.

These chips are known to crash at anything above 68 degrees celsius.

NO 555/965/955 chip should ever be that hot which makes me wonder about the sensor on your motherboard. I overclocked the fuck out of a 555 and it never was able to get to 63 degrees without crashing. Running most AM3 chips at above 55 is never advised.

What is cooling it? I assume stock in which case get a new heatsink (30 bucks) or put some new paste on it.

Also....that gpu is bottlenecking your cpu very hard.... If my old 5850 did it then the 660 definitely is and i had 4 cores unlocked on it.

Since your mobo is also hot i assume the case is full of dust. Clean your stuff check your fans.

Now that I think about it, you're right.
