Hi, i want a new cooler for my cpu because when i play games it gets around 57 mark and my pc starts beeping at me and its damn annoying.
The problem is everything is already fitted into my pc as ive had it for a year now and i dont particulary want to be taking my motherboard out just to fit the fan.

So which is the best cooler that i can just attach to the motherboard like how the stock HSF's are attached.

it's possible that just by improving airflow,
e.g. adding a fan or 2, or vacuuming the
dust if it looks anything like my old Asus
P4C800, will make a BIG difference.

i have already added another fan and i got rid of all the dust because my pc was running even hotter like 60+ and it kept switching itself off
