Never do that, unless you want your stuff to be damaged with static electricity.

Z3 is not inferioor compared to Z5/Z9 and the price difference is 150-200/300 bucks compared to Z5/Z9.
@ OP - If you are living in USA/Eu then get a liquid cooler from Corsair .. they provides warrnty coverage if the cooler leaks and damages pc componenets within warrnty period but in here getting such warranty could be an issue so just to play safe we are recommending air coolers and if you have the budget get you can get the top of the line Air cooler like ThermalRight SilverArrow @ 4.5k .. at the cost of a decent water cooler you can get a high end air cooling solution. and your H67 won't let you OC your cpu .. so you can skip the liquid cooling part.

probably the case has ventilation problems with rear exaust getting blocked or the cooler is not properly mounted. but if you are looking for good cooling, hyper 212 is good, even for medium oc with i5s, it will probably run those games @60-66 degrees. cheaper liquid coolings on the other hand are not exactly that cheap and neither they are as effective.
but before you do anything, do a little test: run realtemp before launching bf3/crysis and take a log. make sure the data is started to be recorded in the log and then play games with those temps for few minutes. then share that log file here, let us take a look.

real temp log during battlefield 3 at native resolution ultra high settings..
i could not upload the csv real temp log files or zip files error occurred , so am uploading the screenshots of log file check those out ...

Yep, it's real. Although I've never heard anyone saying their pc got damages by a vacuum cleaner. It's just like the "Do not use mobile phone in petrol pumps" warning, even though there has not been a single case in history of explosion caused by mobile phone.
Hi,
I had the same problem on my AMD Phenom II 970 Setup. This happens only on 3 games as of now. BF3, Crysis 3 and TR. Stock fan was too noisy so switched to a CM TX3 EVO. Even with the TX3, the temps was reach very close to 60 degrees depending on the duration of play. 62 being the treshold as per the processor specs.
I upgraded to a Corsair H60 liquid cooled setup but still the temps would reach the high 50's which shocked me. I have just set the H60 up in Push Pull configuration as of last night and finally the temps are under control and dont exceed 52 degrees. So im happy
IMO There are 2 things that may be the issue here. 1 - These 3 games are extremely taxing on the CPU as well as GPU. 2 - Ambient temperatures of your room/cabinet matter a great deal.

wow, cpu going ga-ga even @ 50-60% load, u better realign the heatsink first, and check if rear exaust getting blocked anyhow. if they are ok, consider aftermarket coolers.
stock coolers are crappy .. and we have a thread on this so you better change to some good after market cooler at-least 212 EVo.
your temps are fine ( depends on which app you are using ) and the max core temp limit is 90c AFAIK.
Hi Topgear, was going by the temperature information given at the link below:
AMD Phenom II X4 970 Black Edition - HDZ970FBK4DGM / HDZ970FBGMBOX
those are most probably cpu package ( tCase temp ) but most of the temp monitoring apps measures the cpu core temp ( tJmax ) .. so like I said it all depends on the software you are using to monitor cpu temp .. for quad core cpus 60-65c is good generally. Use Hwinfo or HWmonitor to monitor temps.

isn't it that the tCase temp. is same as the temp. of hottest core ???

Most reputed apps report the temperature of the hottest core as the package temperature. tJmax is the maximum temeerature of a device after which is automaticalls performes a thermal shutdown.
