My 950 runs hot, 75-80 at idle, 90+ under load. I still have the stock cooler, and haven't touched the thermal paste since pre-MW2 release (I know it doesn't really need to be changed, but it's holy-er than a church right now).

I've been looking at the H series by Corsair, and I don't want to spend more than 70 before taxes on a new Heatsink/WC.

I'm just wondering how much my Temperature will change not just in my CPU, but in my case as well because my GPU idles at about 50-60, and I'll be upgrading it in Mid-August, I can't run XFire anymore because it makes the temp climb to 115+ and shuts off.
