Dust is usually the issue when it comes to heat problems.
Thats interesting DR Bend, that the 8.9's increased your temps so much, I didn't notice much of a difference between 8.8 and 8.9.
As for fans some medium-high speed Yates or Scythe fans would do you just fine, depending on your noise tolerance. The Zalmans off NCIX seem to be pretty popular as well although I haven't owned any myself.
