Do you have all the screws in your system? especially the 4 screws which hold 2 metal plates underneath the motherboard, i "forgot" to put them on (bein lazy) it made my system run 75 without them, even with the best thermal paste. after i got a YLOD i tried to tighten them and my console worked again and my system ran below 40 on xmb and below 55 while playing GTA V, (i play without top to get a better airflow, believe it its "cools" it for atleast 5 degrees).
does your fan blow hard, ifso is it all cold air thats coming out from the back
