CPU cooler upgrade?

just my 2 cents for the cpu... I got this great little cooler for overclocking my cpu that only cost me about $25. My temps dropped from 174deg F (2.8ghz stock) idle during the summer with no A/c to 135F (OC to 3.5) during the summer with no A/C on my Pent. D... here's the linky

and a pic b/c i want to point out something...



when installed right, you can have the hot air go straight out the back of the pc instead of it hitting your gfx card. the unit is also fairly quiet. Oh, and you can also route cables over the top of it if you need to... my case doesn't have much room behind the board for cable management. the cooler includes a support bracket and thermal paste too.

i bought a sapphire 5870 on 15 december 2009.
i'm very happy right now, coz the difference is huge compared to my old gtx 260 core 216.

in crysis, crysis warhead, prototype, lost planet colonies the performance i'm getting now almost doubled. the gameplay is so much smoother now.

my vantage gpu score went from 9500 to 16600(coooooolllll)

i should also mention that the overall image quality is also better like more sharper and vivid.

so what i'm thinking is my system is handling the new 5870 pretty well, not much of bottleneck as i expected. but maybe my performance can be even better when i'll switch to i5/i7 setup.
