"1. i already have plenty of arctic silver 5 paste on it"

This could be part of the problem... You don't need much thermal paste at all to keep processors cool. Basically, just a little bit on your finger smeared on the die... I'm sure GPUs are the same.

whats the die....the core?

 

[The_Other_One]

Yeah, I beleive the die is also the core... Someone feel free to correct me if I'm wrong

That's right. The die is actually the internal core (the processor) inside the chip. The chip contains the die, L1 Caches, L2 Caches, Hypertransport (on AMD64s), and integrated memory controllers (Sempron and AMD64/Opterons)

i believe die stands for diode? which is a small resistor i think, gets really hot really fast, so says my physics teacher
