Ok, so I need to invest in better cooling for the cpu. Before I write the "list", one of the chassie fans is directly moving air away from around the area where the cpu is located.

List:
Closed loop liquid coolers
Corsair Hydro H70
Corsair Hydro H60
Antec KÜHLER H2O 620

Air coolers
Scythe CPU-cooler Shuriken Rev
Noctua CPU-cooler NH-U9B SE2 (backplate required)
Cooler Master CPU cooler Hyper 612S
