I'm currently running a nForce 790i mobo with a Quad Core Intel Q9550 CPU.
I have a Coolermaster Cosmos 1000 Case, and I get temps running at a constant 50-53C with the stock cooler, no matter what I do with the fans and thermal grease.
(Trust me, I've tried every combination of flipped fans, and I've used 3/4 of the tube.)

I was thinking of getting a Sunbeamtech Core Contact Freezer.
Is it any good? Will it help at all?
Thanks.

By the way, all temperatures are in the BIOS, for I have not received my Hard Drive and can't boot up yet.

And on the topic, my mobo is running at 30C, is that also acceptible?
