I use a Coolermaster $10 fan and my CPU temp is never higher than 85 degrees f.

The Zalman CNPS9700 is a good cooler, and a great cooler when paired with a well ventilated case. It is a bit expensive for some people at around $70, but it is really easy to find unlike the elusive Tuniq. The Tuniq is cheaper, and slightly better, but only if you can find one. Personally, I use a CNPS9700 with my Q6600 in an Antec Nine Hundred Case, and it cools my CPU exceptionally well. The Q6600 is a good overclocker, and the G0 is all hype. You'll be more than satisfied with a B3 model.

i have arctic freezer 64 pro, good for price, but i would rather spend more and get a heck of a lot better performance, i got load 50, with 2 92mm intake fans and an ambient of 80F in the room.

i was expecting alot better ( im at 2.4ghz on a 2ghz X2 3800+)

I just want water cooling . but cant afford it atm. lol

My 2.4ghz Quad at 1.28vcore was about 30degrees celcius idle, which was pretty good. Aslong as you line it up directly with a powerful fan at the back like I did then it will absolutly rock.

Now Iv added 5x 120mm case fans my quad comes out at 32degrees.
