High CPU temps

[nelis]

Hi there.

I have a problem with my CPU running a bit hot. Idle temps is like 49C - 52C. My setup is

Intel q9450 oced to 3.2GHz with Zalman cnps 9700 cpu cooler.
Geforce gtx280
corsair tx650w
cooler master sniper black edition case

think all the other stuff is unimportant.

so should I change my cooler or just stay as it is. I'm scared my cpu will not last any longer and my performance might drop. I also cleaned my case out a bit and it helps but only for a little while. I was thinking of going with the corsair h70 or the h50. will it be a waste of money?

Thanks in advance

A quick google revealed this http://www.overclockersclub.com/reviews/intel_q9450/3.htm since you overclocked.

I also see that watercooling is so expensive that I can rather upgrade myself to a better system
