I know my HS's are making contact because how else would it boot and run at the same temps for a week plus the benchmarks? Really? Really, thats hilarious.

Thank you all for your responses but I'm still not willing to concede my HS's are not touching my CPU's correctly. That in itself is laughable after a week of benchmarks, etc. Like I said they are cool to the touch @ 100% load and nothing shuts off or down. Stock Cooling FTW.
Try this, go into bios and set so that fans run at 100% always and see what happens.. I think your right, but not 100% sure..
