summer is here in australia and its already hitting 33C outside (93F)
so recently my e8500 has been reaching pretty high temps lately
idles at 40-45C (104-113F) and maxes at 75-80C (167-176F)

so i have two options:

quickly buy these at my local computer store:

http://www.dcomponline.com.au/productview.asp?proid=8486
http://www.dcomponline.com.au/productview.asp?proid=8487
which comes to $77

OR

order these online but have to wait a few days for delivery
http://www.pccasegear.com/index.php?main_page=product_info&cPath=207_163&products_id=2173
http://www.pccasegear.com/index.php?main_page=product_info&cPath=207_23_845&products_id=16986
which comes to $94 PLUS $29 shipping fee = $123

P.S im only interested in getting something for my e8500 at these two sites NO WHERE ELSE.

it seems the temps are better on the CoolerMaster Hyper 212 EVO than the kuhler 620 BUT wouldn't that be dependant on the room temperature?
wouldn't watercooling be better since the air temperature is kinda high?
