Sweet thanks for the replies guys... Altough im not using my PC right now, Im manking mental notes of all of this.
NOS2Go4Me I tried both of those tests (last night) and I let MemTest run for like 2.5 hours, one on each core... no probs. And then I got bored of trying to get prime to run so I gave up. Im not really for the automatic overclocking either but I thought I do it for now.
Darkpuppet: The overclocking doesnt fail after running "hot", it fails after the PC being off for hours on end. My brother mentioned something about ASUS being notorious for shoddy welds on the power switch pins on the mobo, he thought that might be the issue (it seems to boot better when I hold the switch for about three sec) Is this what you were reffering to when you mentioned the mobo interconnects cooling?
As for a heat sink and fan I think im going to order this badboy:

Can anybody reccomend something as good/better and within the same price range?
Gotta go the girlfriend is bitching cuz im supposed to be watching Greys Anatomy with her.... fVCK im sick of this show
Thanks for the help though guys!!
