I need to buy a new (but not too expensive) CPU Cooler as my CPU is reaching temps of around 55C when running at 3GHz of it's maximum 3.3GHz. My case is a Cooler Master K350 Midi-tower and I'm looking for one that will fit inside.

Thank you both, I'm thinking of getting the Arctic Freezer 13 and was wondering how much it would reduce the temperature of my CPU at 3.3GHz and maybe even when OC'd. At the moment I'm getting near 60C with the stock CPU cooler so what sort of temps would i get with the Arctic Freezer 13?

Just to let you all know I do have a budget of around £40 so is there any cooler that could be a little more expensive that performs better? Also Sn1992 that Seidon 120M is a Liquid CPU Cooler, how exactly do they work and are they better than normal coolers?

Well it's either the Arctic Freezer 13 or the 120M Seidon but it all really depends on which one will bring down the temps and how efficient it is. I've read up that water cooling is better in general and for Overclocking but I've never used water cooling before, are there pumps?

Actually I think I'm going to have to go with the Arctic Freezer 13 or Evo 212 as I don't think my Cooler Master K350 tower will be able to support the components for the water cooling. Thank you everyone :D

My case doesn't have the spaces for the fans that are on the ceiling of the case, so does that mean I won't be able to get the 120m Seidon? Also does it come with all the parts you need?
