Hi,

Computer is in the signature.

Last few days its been running hot.

I replaced one back fan on the case with a thermal take high speed fan and added a front fan on my Raidmax Sagietta case... Last few days running just small programs CPU Temp has been in the High 40's C and Prime 95 kicks it to 55-56 degrees C

Using Artic Silver 5 w/ Stock HS and Fan

How to fix to get back to the 20's and 30's I'm use to seeing?
 
Turn on the AC (or wait for winter) :).

Seriously, you didn't say where you lived, but if your ambient temp goes up by 10-20 degrees, then you're system is also being fed that hotter air.
 
Using the stock heatsink to overclock, isn't really recommended.. If it's been a while since you cleaned the heatsink of dust, it's probably clogged up, keeping the fan from doing its job properly. Use a can of compressed air to blow out as much dust as possible. You can pick some up at most office stores for a few dollars.
 
Get a new HSF.

Barring the fact that your CPU will NEVER go under ambient temperature.
