Thinking about upgrading to a 945/955 (most likely the 955) and seeing how far I can push it. Only problem is my case has 160mm of clearence for a CPU cooler, so things like the Mugen 2 are out of reach (2mm is cutting it a bit fine
).
So my cunning budget solution is to grab me a CM TX3 and ghetto rig a 120mm fan to point directly onto the CPU (from the side of the case). All up I'd only be looking at around $40 for the whole setup so it's still well within budget (~$50), but I'm not too sure how the TX3 goes for OC'ing? I guess I'd try for 3.5/.6 with the 955, would the TX3 +ghetto fan be able to handle this?
