Computer setup

RAM; 8G
GPU; 2G ATI AMD Radeon HD 7800 Series
MOBO;ASUSTeK

1: I used to use speccy but now i sue Ai suite II Speccy would show 10-15 degrees difference when Ai would show 70 speccy would only say 61, i trust AiS2 better since it comes with the mobo.
2: I have 3 fans on a controller and i keep them low until it hits 65 then I usually put them to max, in Ai suite fan Xpert I set the cpu fan to be at 60% at all times then @ 50 degrees it goes to 80% 60 degrees and higher 100%, the one case fan i have is at 50% until 60 then it goes to 100%.
When I am just browsing the internet the cpu sits around 43-47. When I start any game (Counter strike source, League of legends, Duel of the Planeswalkers. )it slowly crawls to 71 degrees 5 minutes into it. Nothing else get anywhere near that hot.
I have 2 120mm fans and 1 80, then 120's fit the case but i can put a larger one on it since there is a nothing set of screw holes about an inch away. Should i go for the next size up (and would that be 140mm?), or should I upgrade my cpu heatsink/fan setup?
