If the problem is solved by the big house fan or air blowing device then:
2. Go into your BIOS and see if you can change the fan speed in there.
3. Fill any empty spots for fans, fan mounts.
4. Get a slot fan. It looks like this: http://www.newegg.co...N82E16835117010

I didn't know houses could blow?1. Take the cover/side panel off your computer and have a regular house blow into it.

I had already tried something similar to that house blow thing, and it worked (dropped the temperature by 20°). And instead of Prime95, I ran a program called OCCT for half an hour. During the process the motherboard temp. climbed up to a maximum of 67°, while cpu was only 60°. However after the process the program said my computer is stable. I also looked at bios but I couldn't find a way to change the fan speed. I isolated all empty spots for fans, I think that made a 1 or 2 degrees difference. And finally, istead of a slot fan, I'm thinking of buying a northbridge heatsink. Would that solve the problem?

Generally about 25°C.

Are all the cables positioned to allow good air flow?
Are all the vents open? no restrictions?
I would suspect that this com is still warranty (if prebuilt). If so, question where you got it from.

You only have 2 fans for the whole case. Good god man you need more fans. Look around the case and see if you can install some more case fans as located by the arrows on my pic. You need more airflow. If there is no way you can hook up a fan to the case then get a slot fan.

Download Speedfan here: http://www.almico.com/sfdownload.php.
Compare the readings there with your Everest readings.
Also check the BIOS overclocking options. Many Gigabyte boards start with an "auto" overclocking option by default in the BIOS. Make sure that everything is running at its stock speed.
