Try reseating the heatsink..sometimes it goes on wonky (Technical term) and doesn't make good contact the with CPU dye.

woo hoo seems to be sorted i had the side of the case off as i was still tinkering with it but when i put it on the temp drop'd to the 40's . think the air from the fans must have been being directed with the side off thanx for all your help guys apprecate it :)
