MX-2 shouldn't cause any problems. And tbh 30° above ambient doesn't seem implausible. When I still used my stock heatsink I was idling at +/-48°c with an ambient of about 20°c. That was a stock i7 860 though, so I don't really know how...

I would add high ambient temps, bad case airflow and the general sucking of the stock heatsink to that list Also, what TIM are you using? (probably won't make a very big difference, unless you are using a really bad TIM)

The Thermalright TY-140 and the Corsair are probable the best 140mm fans. The only white-bladed 140mm fan I know of is the white version of the Bitfenix Spectre (Pro) fan series, but those are not quiet.

If you want a silent pc, neither the Bitfenix nor the Sickleflow fans are a good choice. Apart of the Bitfenix 120mm fan all the fans in both series are quite loud, and the 120mm Bitfenix barely pushes air. On top of thay they both got...
