CPU Cooling Advice

[Jamin2]

I own an Intel Q9400 CPU that I currently have overclocked at 3.2Ghz, with my max temperature reaching just over 70C, which is as high as it should go. I would like to extend my overclock to 3.6Ghz or possibly more (which should be easy in the BIOS), but this wil' most likely cause my CPU to start overheating.

I have no proper CPU cooling, just the basic setup that comes with the CPU, along with an Asus P5QL-Pro motherboard (LG775 socket). What CPU cooler do you suggest I get? I assume I do not need a ridiculously over the top one, and was looking at perhaps an old Corsair Hydro H60 off ebay? Is there a more reasonably priced (and quiet) choice?

Thank you!

Honestly, you shouldnt even try to OC with the stock cooler. Depending on how much you want to spend and how much you want to OC the Coolermaster Hyper 212 EVO might be the better option. I would stray away from under the H80, and go for the EVO.
