You would have to change the nb heatsink that can be done for $35, and will drop your temps into the 30s idle and probally around 50c loaded, or you can go watercooling, but to me its way to much money, and over rated. Then you could buy a good cpu cooler for $35 that would cool the 9650 very well, so its much cheaper to buy heatsinks, than go water, and i find they do a good job, im 37c idle 40s full load, then the sky is the limit, im running 2040fsb linked n synced with those temps, i have room to go higher, but memory wont go.
