My computer had a bit of an accident, and my old heatsink doesn't seem to work as well as it should. Temps are up, the fan is always running full speed, and I think I need to replace it. My cpu is overclocked a pretty significant amount, so I'm looking for some help on the best cooler for my buck.
I have 139mm of space (my old cooler master tx3 just barely stayed out of the way of the side case fan, so no upgrading to the bigger 212 evo, unfortunately), and am hoping to get the most efficient set up I can under $50.
I'm currently looking at the cooler master gemini series (http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16835103100), but I'm really hesitant, as I feel that the upright ones would work better, like the zalman cnps9500(http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16835118003) for example.
I have heard too many stories about liquid cooling, even closed loop ones, that I am afraid to work with them. Please help me get the best air cooled system I can.
