i WANT to cool my cpu down as much as can be preferably without water cooling. any advice WOULD be great. i've already got 3 case fans INSTALLED and am currently getting about 50c on an amd athlon 64 x2 dual core 6000+This heat sink and fan has pretty good reviews. Are you currently using stock cpu cooling?

http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16835186019it didnt come with one so i got this one Thermaltake TR2-R1 / AMD Socket AM2/939/754 / Aluminum / 92mm Fan / CPU CoolerBe sure to use Arctic Silver Thermaltake Compound vs the el-cheapo white silicon/aluminum oxide paste that comes with most heat sinks. It has a better (quicker and longer lasting ) thermal transfer rating. The white STUFF dries up over time quicker than Arctic Silver.

I lost my one dedicated UT99 Servers, a Pentium III 850Mhz, a few years back due to the cheap white thermaltake drying up. I was hosting the Massive-Bedroom map which is like a Toy Story layout deathmatch where up to 16 players can compete, or a combination of AI and Human players. I was running it 8 AIs and 8 Human Players and it crashed in the middle of our WAN Party ( WAN because we all played from our homes all over the US and a few players over seas.)

Ever SINCE then, I always use Arctic Silver thermaltake, after troubleshooting to find the white thermal take was dried up into a discolored from CPU breakdown"cooked"chalk like material.
