So i am running

Phenom II x4 955 Black edition stock cpu cooler
Asus M4a79-T Deluxe
4 gigs ram
Ati Radeon 4890 XXX black edition
All in a tempest gaming case, so 6 fans

And i am seeing start up temps of 33 degrees
within 5 mins that jumps to 43
and under load its as high as 53

Now this hasnt been a problem other than the noise my cpu fan makes spinning at 6000 rpms
untill recently. To be specific im am playing Red Faction Guerillas and the game has a tendancy to crash, which i am led to belive might be the heat of my CPU, seeing as it is at its hotest when the game crashes. I also had a Hypertranfer sync flood error.. i think that was what it was.

Now im am curious a) what other peoples PII temps are if mine are normal and b) If i get an after market CPU heatsink will that help my cause ?

Thank you for any help.

Idle: 35 C
Load: 50C
Ambient temp: 19 C
On a corsair H50. Something tells me my temps are too high considering the ambient temps and high end cooler.
P.S: using an AZZA fantom 900- very good airflow
