Hey fellas, what are some good cpu air-coolers out there? I have a 3.0ghz P4 that I'm just starting to OC - I have it at about 3.2 now but I doubt if my Thermaltake spark 7+ xaser edition will do the job well for anything higher....

Anton get this cooler. I know its pricy but it looks worth it.. It can support up to 4ghz and i bet you want to get that high dont you.

Oh ya, i;ve heard about this one - it's like an air conditioner for the cpu! I've talked to some people though and they say the electronic part taht sticks in the PCI slot puts out a lot of heat - basically canceling any positive effect the cooler would have....

Nathan is correct as always. As memory serves people that had that changed to a Thermalright and got better temps.

^^^ What he said,
The Thermalright 948 does an excellent job for the price. Plus you can go up to a 92mm fan with it. Its hard to beat for the price.
