Cpu cooler

Alrighty guys. I recently build a rig around a Phenom II X4 955. The power compared to what I was on, is immense. However I ran out of money before I could get a cpu heatsink/fan. So I've been stuck with the stock one, which has to run full tilt to maintain a still crappy temp. And it's LOUD in doing so.

I'd like opinions on good A3 coolers. Something $50 USD or under. I have the Rosewill Challenger case, and it looks like I have about 6 1/4" to 6 1/2" inches from the MOBO to case.

Thanks guys!

I just used the Hyper 212+ with a friends build a few days ago. It really is a great cooler. dual fan capable with rubber stoppers to keep it quiet, great mounting system, PWM...

We fit it in an Antec 300 and we had about a half inch for clearance for the side panel.
