Shuttle Temps

I just put together the shuttle rig in my sig for the second time. The first time it burnt itself out after about 4 hours. I never really figured out what happend, but I loaded up a game to do some "testing", after 15 minutes the system crashed and would not POST. The PSU was really hot and the CPU was dead.

Anyway, I'm now feeling a little anal about my temps and want to know what other folks are getting. The CPU idles about 38-40C, and under load (prime95) jumps very quickly to over 60C at which point I usually quit and tweak some fan options. Anyway, how hot do other peoples SFFs run and what are acceptable temps for a 3.0C to run at?
 
Thats seriously not cool. How is the contact between you CPU and the HSF. Also, what is the power rating on the PSU. Call shuttle and complain. It sucks to burn out chips.
 
Running a 3.0C, it runs idle around 38(if its a cool room)-50C (after running idle for hours). When I'm gaming and stuff the heat bumps up to 60C's even. It's using that ICE cooling technology and I can tell the heat goes up because I can feel the temperature irridiation and hear the humming of the fan go louder. The case is just slightly bigger than all the previous Shuttle cases. The cpu is armed with AS5 but I read that it takes about 300 hours to break in. I spreaded it as evenly as I could acording to the instructions but some people said the proper way to do it is dab and squish using the heatsink. If that's the problem that's causing my high temps, I'll have to reapply my AS5 sooner or later. I don't know how your CPU died at those temperatures because it's ackward. Shouldn't the system shutdown by itself when it overheats real bad?
