Phenom II 940 system, overclocking (a good cooler)?

Last response: in CPUs

Hi everyone, I have a phenom II 940 based system, and anyway (in the future) I am planning on overclocking. I am wondering what a good cpu cooler would be, and what results I could expect (I'm hoping for 3.5ish, nothing too crazy) and still have decent temperatures. http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E168... is my motherboard, and also I would like to overclock the RAM a bit which is http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E168... (I am worried the tall heat spreaders might limit my selection of cpu coolers). Thanks in advance

forgot to mention, the direct contact heatpipes improve heat dissipation compared to traditional heatpipes. Be sure to double check the clearance on your motherboard/case, these heatsinks are rather large
