Hey long time since i posted here, So the thing is My AMD Phenom II 965 black edition AM3 sounds like a jet plane with it's default AMD cooler (I am AMD fan but i must admit that i will be better off blowing into the CPU myself untill i run out of air instead of having their cooler)
Noise isn't the biggest problem but the tempetures, When i play GTA IV for example Tempeture rises to 76 C (and more) my case starts to smell like melting plastic and when i touch the back part its like i touched a furrance. My CPU max operating temp is 69 C So me question is here can you recommend me a good and a silent cooler no more than $45 Keep in mind my CPU is unlocked and i want to overclock it but i currently cant because two things 1. My PSU died. Thanks god it was under warranty 2, If i overclock with the current cooler Thermal paste in the cooler will turn into molten lava,Optical drive is going to become a microwave, Whole box is going to become one huge radiator So recommend my a cooler Sorry for big post i wanted to make it a bit funny and make you feel my pain,sorry for taking your time

Best Regards

For a gaming pc...No, there is just not enough airflow with that case. I'd recommend buying a new case with at least 3 fan slots and buying a Hyper 212 EVO for your CPU cooler, because those temps are not good at all, your pc case is like a mini heater with the case. If you can't afford a different case right now then I would just recommend taking the side door off for now and maybe pointing a home fan toward it.
