Upgrading from Alpha PAL8045 to Thermalright SP-97

Tbred 2.2GHz @ 1.625V
Alpha PAL8045
Thermaltake Smart Case Fan 2
Coolingflow thermal paste
Epox 8RDA
Chieftec DX-01WD
Elanvital 44CFM case fans x 4


When running Prime95 torture test,

(all readings from the Epox motherboard)

Case temperature: 35C
CPU Full Load: 53C

Are these temperatures OK? Will a SP-97 cool much better, let's say 5C lower with the same fan?

Thanks in advance.
 
I would check out a water cooler kit from globalwin for about $70 shipped. It's available at ewiz.com. I don't think you'll see much difference with the thermalright over your present heatsink.
