Are you using stock speeds for that processor? If so, keep using it unlesss you can afford to void the three year warranty. Also, what do you mean by 'overheating'? Is the processor constantly downclocking as a result of excessive heat? Is the system constantly crashing?

Did you install the heatsink/fan properly? How many case fans do you have?

Which way are the fans facing?
The front fan set up as an intake to bring in cool air? The rear fan set up as a exhaust to remove warm air? Where is the third fan? Case Cooling Airflow And Heat How To Avoid Overheating  Cricket
