What CPU Fan should I get?

[huhjunn]

I'm looking for a good CPU fan that will keep it cool. I don't care about looks. I care about price and performance. Here are my system specs: http://h10010.www1.hp.com/wwpc/ca/en/ho/WF06b/12132708-12133156-12133158-12133158-12133158-80230858-80451103.html

Also, my current fan is loud as heck when I play games. If I just browse and regular stuff it sounds fine, but after playing a game for about 15-40 minutes my cpu fan goes nuts and sounds like a leafblower, I've already tried dusting, please help me with this issue. If a new fan is the solution then so be it!

Thanks guys!

Sounds like an overheating issue. You could try removing, cleaning, and replacing thermal compound and re-installing the stock fan.

NewEgg.ca price is lower - shipping is higher: Cooler Master Hyper TX3

I'm not sure a tall CPU cooler would fit inside your HP case. For example:
It's a big 161mm tall with a 120mm fan. OCZ Gladiator MAX Heatsink Review

Coolermaster Hyper TX3 Heatsink Review is the next size down and should fit without a problem.

Also 92mm HSF's that would work OK.
