    Ideally, <55*C

    Take off the stock fan and slap on a 25mm thick 60mm delta or something. That little heatsink is one hell of a performer for it's size with a halfway decent fan.

    Yeah I seen them.. But it looked like 40 CFM was the largest... should I not be pushing more than that... 40 sounds kinda girlie. I thought it should be in the 50's... I could however be wrong...

    There's always this thing:

    And trust me, these heatsinks are pretty damn good with just a 40cfm delta. They aren't up there with an SLK-900/Tornado combo, but they do very well nonetheless.

    how about...

    I have a 60 to 80 billet converter someone gave me... should I slap that on and run a 80mm fan?

    To answer the title. If you're able to cook your lunch on the hs it's to hot. :D Otherwise go with the suggestions given by geeky and the others.

    The adapter would work, but it would require an 80mm fan that flows >60cfm to push the same amount of air through the heatsink the 60mm/50cfm would.
