Overclocked Athlon II 445 HSF suggestions

[sk_ltran]

Hi all,

I have a micro ATX case and motherboard and I've overclocked my Athlon II 445 to what you see below.

I'm looking for suggestions on a good aftermarket HSF (or if I should bother with getting one at all). I'm looking for a good fit for my case, significantly cooler than stock, and a quiet one would be nice, but not high on my priority. Also don't want to spend more than $30 if I can help it.

Thanks for any help !

You definitely want to lower those temps either downclock or get on your budget a coolmaster Hyper TX3 or 212+. 212+ is better but costs more.
