Default Good heatsink for a AM3 processor?
What's up OCN I'm building a HTPC for a freind that will be running his machine 24/7 so I need some good cooling.

He will not be using a small form factor case so I do not need a low profile cooler. Any good suggestions?

only really good cheap cooler i recommend is the mugen 2, cooled much better than my old s1283. For the price you cant go wrong, just make sure there is enough room for it as it is big.

I am having incredible results with the Tuniq Tower 120 Extreme. If overclocking, it is an excellent choice. Here is a review:

Wow lots of great suggestions thanks guys. I was wondering though is there anything $20.00 or less? I know I'm being cheap but he wont be overclocking and, well I guess I am just cheap.
