52C idle is something I'd be somewhat worried about. There is a chance however that your motherboard's sensor is misreporting the CPU temp. For example the Abit KT7a reports about 11C too high. My Asus A7V266-E reports *18C* over the 'real' cpu temp. If you factor in a little bit of motherboard error (~5-10C) and you don't plan on having that cpu for longer than say, 5 years then you should be alright. Personally however I would try to get it to around 40C full load. About the fan.. you can check http://www.millisec.com/fans.html The 60mm Sunon 26.2CFM fan should be rather quiet and still provide adequate cooling (on an SK6). If you can tough the noise and 50 cents then you could try the 7k rpm delta (38CFM):)
