Looking for a decent CPU cooler

I'm overclocking my cpu (check out the thread in cpu's and overclocking section has like 6 pages lol) and It's a bit too hot. I've raised the voltage by 1 level from 1.4V to 1.425V (3.1 to 3.3 Ghz) and on full load its reaching 62'C which is the max for it.

I'm hoping to overclock it to to 3.5 Ghz which is like 1.5V. Considering that the temperatures raise by about 5'C I need something that will cool it pretty well because at idle it's about 35'C and raising it to 3.5 GHz will make it about 40'C so I want it 30'C at idle.

I don't want the price to be over 40 dollars, i'd prefer if it was quiet but it doesn't have to be just not something like a ****ing jet engine.

Am2 socket.

Thanks.

I got one for mentioning something that is apparently illegal only where admin and mods on this forum live.

Don't try to appeal or ask for clarification though...
 
i've got the freezer 64 pro, and my 5000+ BE is at 3.2ghz and idles about 20, and load is 40.

and don't raise voltages automatically, overclock , then if it boots into windows, but isn't stable, take it a step up.
at 3.2ghz mines only at 1.424v

it's almost impossible to not receive infractions on a regular basis on this forum if you ever voice your opinion. as much as i enjoy CF, i think the rules are too strict, and the tolerance for language is on the extreme side. if the mods were to relax and let people be people, the forum would instantly improve 200% because we could say what we want to say without being punished for it.

however, i can guarantee you that it won't change.

and if this post draws a response from a mod i already know what it will be, almost verbatim.

See the thing is, I'm not trying to start anything, I'm not a spammer, I tried to help people were I can..

all I did was make 1 comment and I have made to feel like I'm ruining this forum..

I dunno,,,all I wanted was for my PM's to be responded to and everyone has pm'ed me except the one I wanted to speak to!?!

Seriously, this forum would be better if we loosened the noose a bit...I am willing to even help out the admin/mods but I feel like I'm being blacklisted..

I guess this is just forum though, at the end of the day, its just another forum.,...too bad..I did like it here.

the thing that i think is strange is that most of the mods and people in charge are democrats. you would think they were hardcore christian conservatives based on the rules they make everyone follow.

guaranteed we both get infractions if we keep going
we need to be quiet now. the mods are watching us with clamped fists.

it doesn't matter if we are unhappy as long as we don't voice it.

^ great forum, much more lenient than CF. i am slowly making the transition to OT. the thing that i find humorous is that even though it isn't a computer related forum, most of the members that use it know 10x more than the average member here :D
