CPU Temperatures

I have an issue with my FX8350 on Gigabyte 990XA-UD3.

I've set a BIOS buzzer waing to sound off when the socket temp exceeds 60C/140F.

On my FX8350 I have an CM Hyper 212 EVO, and the CPU is running at stock temps, without turbo-mode. (8cores @ 4GHz).

I'm also running with Cool n' Quite on, so that should further keep the processor cool, since it underclocks and undervolts the CPU when it's not under load.

I've replaced all of the dust filters on my case, and vacuumed the inside of my computer.

The room temperature is around 28C/82F. (I know it's not ideal).

Now, the problem I'm running into is that the buzzer sounds off (socket temp exceeds 60C/140F) during some operations. Like #include parsing in Visual Studio or when playing Dota 2 and in a Skype call at the same time. Now I know these are CPU intensive operations (include parsing, and Dota2), but this CPU with aftermarket cooling, both on the CPU and in the case, shouldn't go anywhere near that temperature. What's the problem here? Could it be that Cool n' Quiet is actually doing the opposite of what it's intended to do? Underclocking thus making the CPU run under higher load, and have a higher heat dispersion? The CPU's TDP is 125W, but during the temp spikes it never exceeds ~40W.
