Time for a new CPU HSF

Volcom929 · Jan 7, 2005, 10:37 PM

What would you guys suggest for a good CPU cooler for a FX-53 that is overclocked? I have a Zalman currently but am not too impressed. At only 2.6GHz the CPU hits 58C at idle. What would you suggest as I have read numerous reviews from various sites but you guys know your shizit and I repect your opinions.

Yeah I have been looking at the XP-120 and have seen mixed reviews. I was also looking at a Panasonic Panaflow 120mm fan to go with it but havent decided totally on it yet.
