Default what is the most efficient way to cool?

What is the most efficient way to cool your system? What about to cool your gfx card? I need a really good cooling system to cool both for around 50 bucks. I heard the Zalman Fatility was am2 compatible and a good device to lower temps. Is this true? What else? Thank you much!

Freezer 64 Pro its fit-able on a A2M CPU (smae fitting as a s939) and its a really nice cooler (for the price its perfect even )
but why you want to upgrade the cooling? youre planning on overclocking?

I just want to upgrade the cooling because my vid card is getting a little hot and I would like my CPU temps to be a little cooler at idle. I figured it couldnt hurt. And yes, I might also OC hahaha!thanks

Well, for CPU, I know the Thermaltake BIG typhoon is good (And AM2 compatible!) Although, I'm looking at the TITAN Venessa(sp), It looks better (not the the big typhoon dosent) and is about 10USD less. It seems like it cools better too...

If you want the best of the best for air cooling, get the Zalman CNPS9700. Same as the 9500, but with a 110mm fan and larger.

To cool your GPU, all that's really needed is a spare 120mm fan blowing on the tiny intake fan for its heatsink, and making sure the heated air is getting out/away.
