I am using the stock fan and heatsink. The case also has decent airflow.
Room temp is 24C
IDLE
CPU--28C
MOBO--34C
NB--37C
HD--38C
LOAD (running prime95 for 40min)
CPU--42C
MOBO--36C
NB--48C
HD--39C

I want to get a good cooler from newegg.com (budget is $40-$80) link to the cpu coolers on newegg http://www.newegg.com/Product/Prod [...] esult=True
My motherboard http://www.gigabyte.com.tw/Product [...] 785GM-US2H

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
On a completely seperate system. Same budget though ($40-$80).
I am looking for a high end FAN and HEATSINK to cool an i5 running on this motherboard http://www.newegg.com/Product/Prod [...] 6813130238
I don't really want to get into water-cooling, but i saw this http://www.newegg.com/Product/Prod [...] 6835181010 would it be able to cool the i5 better than a high end air cooler??
This system also has a case with great airflow http://www.newegg.com/Product/Prod [...] 6811119194

Heres a look into a cooler review done by Benchmarkreviews.com. Tho this was for an i7 1366 test setup, you should see similiar results with i5 1156.....

Do you plan on overclocking?
