So a few days ago I bought Battlefield 3. It's awesome. The only one problem though is that my CPU temps are going up to 80-85°C max after about 1-2 hours of playing. :(
I'm not sure if it can stand this but I don't want to take any risks so I'm looking for a heatsink that will drop those temps by at least 10°C but I don't want to spend more than 60-65 bucks on it.
My cooling should be fine, i got a coolermaster 690 ii advanced with 3 outtake fans (1 rear, 2 on the top), 2 side intake fans (one blowing on the cpu, the other one at the video card), one intake at the bottom and one intake at the front.
Room temp is about 30-35°C :sol:
The cpu is a 2500k, no overclock with intel's stock heatsink.
All suggestions are welcome :D

Thanks! I actually thought the N520 performed better. Yeah and I think I got enough fans for now (8 in total, just added one) so I should be pretty cool for quite some time, until the overclocking instinct takes over :pt1cable: :D
