My I7 950 with the Cooler Master V8 heatsink/fan attatched idle's at 29-34C, and under FULL load with Prime95 caps out at 63C for about an hour of running.
Are these temps reasonable? I only ask because the heatsink was 60 bucks and was expecting more out of it, but I have read that I7's can run a tad hot.
Also, I have a case cooling question if I may:
This is the case I have:

The fan on the back of the case blows air in (Directly on CPU). Would I have better airflow if I reverse it and have it blow air out of the case? (currently I have no fans blowing air OUT of the case, just IN)
Thank you in advance
