    Running folding@home in the background forces the cpu load to 100%, thus making the fans running. It works better if the game is ran in windowed mode though.

    Mine now stays at 91-95 while playing a game @513/1440/520

    Have you tried undervolting with RMClock? What BIOS are you running on your C90S? Did you put your C90S together yourself? if so, what TIM did you use on your CPU?

    TIM?

    I'll try RMclock


    EDIT: It's the GPU that is overheating, my cpu is staying at 65. Forcing the cpu load makes fans running so it cools down the gpu

    Oh, ok I understand that. I have the same problem as well, except mine only hits about 88 ~ 89C Load. Don't you have a problem with F@H taking all your CPU usage? I noticed my fans only spin up to max unless I have it in Overclocking Mode. I can load the CPU with Orthos even and they won't spin up.

    TIM = Thermal Paste.

    I'm a big fan of RMClock....but I thought it wouldn't work with our processor? No?

    It only uses the free space on the cpu, and I only activate it while playing a game :)

    @Zoid: Dunno, but it's not the GPU no? My CPU stays cool no problem

    If you go to Advanced CPU Options, and force the CPU to be "Mobile", it will unlock the ability to change your vcore (makes it think its a Merom). I have my 9x Multi set to 1.075vcore and ran Prime stable for 24 hours. Undervolting is beautiful.
