Been looking to do some more OCing on my new processor. Got it up to 3.4 with the stock cooler and some AS5, idling at about 39 if I don't OC, 42 if I do.

If my price range is up to around $40 (willing to go a bit higher), what would you recommend? What coolers have you had good experiences with?

Little more than your budget and not sure if your in the uk but I would recommend this

Had this on my 720 BE unlocked and now my 4.2Ghz i7 and it is just awesome

Going to take a look now, thanks

I am in the UK but I figured I'd make it easy for all the americans

EDIT: What sort of temp reductions did you see? Also, what sort of RPM does it run at?

mugen ii has bolt in mounting but the downside is you gotta flip your motherboard over to install it.. a bit of a hassle but it's great price you can dual fan it down the road and it's pretty hefty i'd recommend that or the xiggy s1283
snaps your in the uk... Hmm

get that with the mounting/fan might be alittle over 40 but if not that then i'd get the fenrir seems like a good hsf similar to the xiggy

@ 2000 RPM my 920 never goes over 66 and my 720 BE was kept at 46 max at 3.8Ghz

EDIT - I checked to see if this cooler is on Newegg and it isnt so I dont know how well known it is in the states.

This is what I use:

It's a great cooler, picked it up in a combo deal with my storm scout so I thought I'd try it. Under load in game I average around 45-47c with my PII 920 clocked from 2.8 to 3.5.
