My CPU is overheating very quickly. The HSF is set properly. When I go to my BIOS the cpu temp starts at 65 degrees C and continues to grow to 80-90 in under 3 minutes. The HSF is definitely set right. Is it possibly defective?

I have the same CPU. Did you get the Factory Intel Fan with the CPU ? If not (its a smart fan) that may be your issue. My CPU runs at a very cool tempature.

Check HSF
Faulty >Replace it
Check Additional System Fans
If your Cabinet Size is Small then You may not get proper cooling
DON"T DO THE L:INES BELOW UNTILL YOU KNOW WHAT ARE YOU DOING
Most Stupid Things If you are a Geek Had You overclocked Your Processor
if Yes Then Short BIOS.Get Configured It Again
I Hope It will Solve Your Problem

Heatsinks can't be defective, as long as the fan on them is spinning. My guess would be that you didn't use any thermal paste between the heatsink and the processor. And since the bottom of most heatsinks look like corduroy fabric, instead of being mirror smooth, hardly any of the metal of the heatsink is making contact with the processor. Here's how to install thermal paste: http://www.arcticsilver.com/arctic_silver_instructions.htm Also, here's about every link you'll ever need for heatsink reviews: http://forums.anandtech.com/messageview.aspx?catid=37&threadid=1723066&enterthread=y
If you're on a budget, or don't like messing with the inside of your computer, I would get this heatsink: http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.asp?Item=N82E16835186134 Although, this is the best heatsink made today, and it's now VERY affordable (and also what I bought recently): http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.asp?Item=N82E16835185001 <---- That is the heatsink that all other heatsinks are compared against. It's so efficient that it can even be used on most systems without the fan, as long as you have one intake and one output fan.

if you are sure that you set the heatsink right (w/ thermal paste and everything) then you might need to get a better aftermarket one (zalman, coolermaster, thermaltake, etc.)
intel's 8xx series on the 'smithfield' core are known to run very hot. the 'smithfield' core is basically 2 'prescott' cores glued together...and the 'prescott' cores run really hot by themselves as it is.

u need more casing fans and keep the casing itself open so that more air is regulated into the motherboard and preocessor and get a small fan that could provide additional air, its normal i too had this issue,

65 C on startup? That's 149 F... something is wrong - seriously wrong.
