There dont appare to be anything wrong with the cooler or the fans, so guess it was bad termalpaste and bad airflow, that caused my problems. Unless the cooler is broken or not good enough. I will have it tested later to be sure of the cause.

The old case, after I removed most of the components. I left the motherboard, as that was the easiest place to store it.
