New Cooling suggestions?

Had a weird happening recently. Came home after being gone for a day and my processor's suddenly running at 50' idle instead of 27 like it was before. Figure I might want to get a new HS/F, but not sure what I should be looking at.

Also, any ideas what could have caused the temp increase? Apparently the power went out @ my house for a min (my computer was reset when I got home), but its on a surge strip. No hardware changes since the nice cool temps, just has a much higher temp, seemingly randomly.

Also would like to get rid of the POS aluminum HS/F on my 9800 Pro. I've heard there's good Arctic Cooling fans out there, but not sure what's what, any tips?

Arctic VGA Silencer.

Go to newegg and find the one thats compatible with 9800 Pro.

Also, you should try the Zalman ZM80C

Alrighty, thanks ^_^ Think that'll help drop the temp a lot? Im seriously confused as to why it suddenly rocketed

Edit: Nm, thought the Zalman would be a CPU HS/F, looks like another video one. Thanks though.
