when i first put this computer together it wouldnt boot because of the processor overheating, so i got some arctic silver and applied it and everything was running smooth, except for some occasional warning messages about the temp getting to hot. A couple days ago i installed a new video card and ever sicne then my Intel Desktop utility has been giving me many warning messages, usually while im playing a game, about my processer exceeding the reccomended temp.

I dont know what to do, should i apply more arctic silver? I have 2 case fans (one top one side), and a processor fan. Right now its at 50 deegrees cerlcius, but when i play a game its usually at around 65 to 68, and when it goes over the limit around 72.

thanks for the help
