so im running a gigabyte board that is speced to run a fsb of 1600. its the
ep45-ud3l. i am using a q6600. i overclocked the cpu using a 425x8 to get 3.4Ghz for the core, and 1700fsb. when i do intel burn test my temps for the cpu get up to 89c!...i know these are to high of temps tp be safe. so i would like advice on which coolers to get. i was looking at these 3.....

also i was wondering if you thought my chipsets need to get some cooling treatment. right now they have the stock gigabyte heatsink on them. i dont know if they need it since the board is speced to run at 1600fsb and im over by 100mhz. if so then can somebody please throw some links for good chipset coolers that are compatible with the board i have, and any other coolers that may be better than the ones that i have listed. thanks alot

go with the first one, seems to make people happy.. I didnt check to see if its compaitble with your system, As long as it is compatible with your socket id go with the first... People have sucessfully overclocked their i7s to 4ghz with this

I have that first cooler from Corsair. Its pretty nice, can't complain about it. It will work fine with your cpu because its lga 775 compatible and has all the brackets too.
