well your processor doesn't draw anywhere near the power his draws. But even then it is quite hot I only got near 90C when I had no fan on the pwms with no bolt mod. What kind of fan do you have on it and where is it positioned? I kept mine cool running a Q6600 by strapping a 75CFm 80mm fan angled straight at it so the air couldn't go anywhere but on the heatsink.
