Thanks to emil, buyandsell, sagi AFF, smokey, woj, u-bob, RobertD, rowan, justin, and of course bronco67. I turned the fan around the correct way and used Arctic Silver 5 for my thermal paste. It lowered my CPU temperature to 41-43 while doing things that pushed it to 79-81 before. I know turning the fan around helped some because it even lowered the temp of the GPU 8 degrees but Arctic Silver must be the shiznit for a 38C degree drop. Thats about 70F. Only time will tell if that was my problem but I'm feeling pretty confident.
