    "Mine isn't having this problem at present. You've probably already done this, but make sure the copper heatsinks on the Northbridge etc have their plastic cover removed. It's quite hard to spot at first, but there are 3 copper parts with a plastic sheath over them to prevent damage during transport.

    If you missed that, it would likely explain the temperatures."

    Kicking myself for missing the plastic!

    Just take the covers off all together, nothing but double sided tape holding them on. All they do is stop the air flow, stupid design.
