multiple AM2 Cooling questions.

[typh4u]

Two questions.


1. My main folding computer(X2 5600) temps are creeping up. I cleaned and reseated the cooler but it still has similar temps 58-63'C under load. This cooler is loud so I want a quieter cooler. Any suggestions? I was thinking A/C freezer Pro 64.....
Specs:
Sigma Orca(Cooler size is a issue)
X2-5600(stock no plans for OC)\
4 GIG geil DDR2 800
XFX 8800GT XXX
2 120MM fans(intake and exhaust)


2 When my X2 5000 black finally gets here I am going to OC the crap out of it..... I was thinking about getting a water Cooler. I have never Water/Phase cooled before and want to try my hand at it.
Requirements
1.Easy to use
2.Performs well
3.Won't break the bank



Thanks in advance guys.....

I cant answer the second question as i have almost no experience with water but for the first one if it will fit id say grab a Zalman 9500. It works really really good for its size.

This morning my cooler master CPU fan was howling and my temps shot up to 68-72. So I broke out the factory X2 5600 HSF to last till Newegg delivers my replacement. I went with the A/C 64 pro, 25 bucks and free shipping...



Thanks PP, for the suggestion. I was really tempted but since it will remain stock I felt the zalman would be Over kill for a stock cpu....

depend on your budget. I personally like the thermalright's cooler, it's easy to install and you cna choose the fan to go with it. Go for 120mm if you want quieter one that can also offer you a better cooling.

the AC freezer 64 is a nice easy to install cooler.
