hey guys soi have a question about liqid cooling a Athlon ii x4 640. the reason i am asking this is because in the summer months my upstairs gets hotter thern 28C and my heat sink i have on there (witch is a stock heat sink from an AMD FX8350) don't do a good enough job at cooling it it runs at 40C while whatching YouTube ( yes i have a GPU its a radeon HD 5850).
im just wondering what would be a good closed loop liqid cooling unit to put in it.

40C under load is excellent! Athlon II X4s have a recommended max temp of 71C. And can run hotter than that safely.

And 82F/28C is not an unusually hot environment for the system to run in with the stock cooler. Especially the big (and noisy) 4 heat pipe FX cooler.

Almost any aftermarket cooler will be quieter than the stock cooler. I used to have a http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E168...
...but its 120mm radiator design was too small for my OC'd i5-2500K. So I went back to my EVO 212. It is quieter and does a better job of cooling. Since you won't be OC'ing your Athlon II X4, the H60 may be fine for you. But for OC'ing it is almost necessary to find a 240mm radiator cooler to beat a good air cooler. Read the guru of cooling:
