Hi there,

I have this processor and it heats up a lot, partly because the space is not too ventilated. Can anyone suggest a good heatsink/cooler for this processor, within $30-$40. I have ASUS M2N68 AM plus motherboard with 450W PSU. Also, for a not-so-ventilated space, can you suggest some ways to keep the cabinet as cool as possible?

Thanks!

The Hyper 212 might be too tall for your system. In that case, a TX3 would be a decent option. Honestly, if your case has really poor airflow, you might want to consider a new one. This one has decent airflow for the price.
