I'm going to OC an e4300 or e6320
I looked at water cooling, but think a fan can do the job as well.

Here are the 5 fans I'm looking at:

KINGWIN KA-9227 90mm Ball CPU Cooler
http://www.newegg.com/Product/Prod [...] 6835124013

MASSCOOL 8WA741 92mm Ball CPU Cooler
http://www.newegg.com/Product/Prod [...] 6835150082

COOLER MASTER RR-CCH-L9U1-GP 92mm CPU Cooler
http://www.newegg.com/Product/Prod [...] 6835103031

ASUS Triton70 92mm Vapo Bearing CPU Cooler
http://www.newegg.com/Product/Prod [...] 6835101014

Thermaltake CL-P0370 92mm Enter CPU Cooler
http://www.newegg.com/Product/Prod [...] 6835106085

I picked these as they aren't too expensive, because if I wanted to spend $55 on a fan, I could buy an actual water cooled kit for cpu.

Which would you recommend?

Thanks

I've never heard of any of them, and very few people bought them, so they probably suck. If you could find a water cooling system for $55, then it would suck. Would this:http://www.newegg.com/Product/Prod [...] %2b7%2bpro be too expensive for you? It's a pretty good cooler.

Ah yes! I mean, not too expensive, but YES I like!

I appreciate your help!

Everytime I see something I like, I do a froogle search, and find it for a couple bux less. I think of it as taking care of the tax I would have paid originally.
But I just bought it for $29 after tax and shipping.

Thank you alpine_sc!

Do i need a cooler for my north bridge chipset as well?

I wont be hitting the max fs bfor my board, so it should be okay as well, right?

Cooling the NB is an option. Some people do, some don't. Generally finding a good 40mm or 50mm fan and gluing it to the NB heatsink is more than enough. If you want, you can purchase a NB cooler, but is it worth the money? That's your choice.
