^^I don't think they are particularly crappy case fans. They came with my case & there are 4 of them. I'm confident that the airflow in the case is good.
Does AMD usually provide a low quality heatsink/fan with their CPUs? I can run out tommorrow to the TigerDirect store in town & get a 'fancy' heatsink/fan from Thermaltake or something if it will help.

Update: I've had it on for about 30 minutes now & the temp is now a constant 76C.

Hey FLG,
I tried pushing on the heatsink for about a minute but the temp stayed the same. I am 99% sure I have it mounted correctly.

BTW; would it be stupid of me to try to install WinXP in this situation?
