So I was wanting to overclock my FX 6300 (I know it's old, I'm gonna upgrade to zen when it comes out) and am willing to spend £60 on a cooler. I noticed this cooler: http://www.cclonline.com/product/200373/RESERATOR-3-MAX-DUAL/CPU-Coolers/Zalman-Reserator-3-Max-Dual-Liquid-CPU-Cooler/CLR1180/
And I have yet to read anything negative about it except it can get loud (my current system is pretty loud already so anything will be an improvement :p) but is there any suggestions as to what I should get?
CPU: AMD FX 6300
Mobo: Gigabyte GA-78LMT-USB rev 2.0 (I think)
Case: Cougar MX310

The negative about that cooler is that if the fans die, the pump effectively goes out with it too which makes the competition a better option with the pump being on the CPU block while the fans can be swapped out to one's of your choosing or if they break can be replaced for new ones.

For cheaper and a better overclocking headroom/temps you can look at these:
