Great Budget Cooler

[Root]

Ok guys I finished building my computer today and it all went great I have tons of pics but I cant uploads just yet. I am now using the AMD stock fan, I bought the Artic Cooling 13 Pro, the problem is its great but on AM3 I cant mount it so it blows out my case, you can only mount it blowing up which is useless in my Silverstone PS04B case. So tommorow I am going to go and change the cooler since its no use and I need suggestions on which coolers at budget are really awsome, Right now I am pretty positive about getting the Hyper 212+.

I was planning on Ocing my Phenom x4 955 but with stock I am just not going to even try, and silence is also what I am looking for, if possible I would wait and get the D14 but I am not sure if it fits my case if so Ill go for it.

Take a look at the Arctic Cooling Freexer Xtreme - looks like it'll go front-to-back on AM3. I think the Akasa Venom coolers might as well, so worth a look.

No idea on performance on either though.

This site has a lot of performance info for all the quieter coolers, so worth a look as a reference.
