Some users have recently had their accounts hijacked. It seems that the now defunct EVGA forums might have compromised your password there and seems many are using the same PW here. We would suggest you UPDATE YOUR PASSWORD and TURN ON 2FA for your account here to further secure it. None of the compromised accounts had 2FA turned on.
Once you have enabled 2FA, your account will be updated soon to show a badge, letting other members know that you use 2FA to protect your account. This should be beneficial for everyone that uses FSFT.

I recommend the Zalman CNPS 9500. I was hitting around 55 at load with the stock heatsink, now I'm at around 41. Make sure you get a tube of Arctic Silver 5 thermal compound for best results.

If you want quiet cooling, then be prepared to run at slightly higher temperatures... unless you spend some money. 
Is your entire "comp" hitting 45-52C or just the CPU? What's cooling your CPU now?

That vid card runs damn hot. I would search this forum for a simple mod. EX: on my 7800 I took off the stock plastic casing around the hs and replaced it with a 80mm fan, zip-tied to the hs. Dropped my temps big-time and keeps rest of pc cool. In any case, unless you plan on keeping all those components 5+ years, I think you are stressing yourself over nothing.
