I have a larger mid tower system with 6 120mm case fans, however my CPU is still running a little hot. I had a stable overclock of 4GHz on factory cooling, however while gaming my CPU was hitting 60C and running Prime 95 it would top off at 65-67C. I don't want to be running my processor that hot so I just set the overclock at 3.8GHz until I can get an aftermarket cooler.
I have a very good power supply, and am currently running a Phenom II 965 BE. I have never bought an aftermarket cooler before and would like someone to recommend one that is reasonable in price, will do the job, and could handle the cooling on my next build (whatever AMD has to offer in a year or two when I have to upgrade the processor). I fully plan on using my current processor as I have a very good video card and will be able to game on it for at least the next year or two without worrying about it.
