I have an X6800 and a cheap aftermarket cooler on it. It's not a performance cooler by all means, just something that was better than stock. It worked well for a while but yesterday I started up core temp just to see what the readings were, and it was around 55 degrees idle and up to 60-65 when I would game. Sometimes it even hit 70 degrees. I was wondering what kind of cooler would be good for this CPU? Should I go high end? Or would something in the middle work well? Thanks in advance!
