CPU cooling comparison question...

To make a long story short, my Corsair H100i v2 water cooler died on me, and I had to switch back to my old Thermaltake Water 2.0 Performer.
The whole reason I switched in the first place was because my AMD 9590 kept overheating and crashing my computer with the single radiator cooler (that chip ran HOT). Now that I've switched back, if I stream video to my tv, and play games at the same time, it's only 10 minutes or so before it locks up again.
I've already decided to get the ID-Cooling Frostflow 240L cooler, but with it being Christmas, I need to wait until the new year to get it.
In the meantime, I have a Cooler Master Hyper T4 air cooler here that's not being used, and was wondering if anyone knew if I'd get better cooling performance with it. I just didn't want to go through all the trouble of installing it, only to find out it was same, or even worse, than the single radiator water cooler.
Any thoughts...? ;)

Their no reason to even install the t4 it has no chance to cool that 220 Watt processor. No matter what you do to it their no chance it can transfer the heat fast enough.
Thst is really a very bad processor because of the massive power draw.
What board are you running with that.
You can use the 2.0 you have by under clocking and under volting the processor.

You can get great performance off that cooler, but only if you can ignore being 3 metres away from a jet engine at full blast. It has a 120mm fan, so all you need is a very high performance fan, something 150 CFM or more, and mount that one in. Which websites could you buy from?
