i7 CPU cooling

Clearly the stock cooler on my i7 930 is junk.
I'm not into overclocking, just need a beast of a machine to do video editing and rendering.

The stock cooler works fine for idling and medium-load tasks. But when rendering video the CPU runs at 100% and brings the temps to 90C! If I could keep it around 60C I'd be happy.

It looks like I'll need a better cooler. Could someone recommend one for me?
 
Thanks for the responses, I appreciate it.

Looks like the hyper 212 is a monster of a cooler. Not sure it will fit in my case. I saw the Freezer 7 Pro had some good reviews. Any thoughts on that one?
 
Depends on your budget. The cooler the better really. The CM Hyper 212 is not that great... It's a budget cooler. The Scythe Mugen 2 is supposed to be good for the money too. All I've seen about the Freezer 7 is warnings not to get it, so I didn't.

4.3 Socket Maximum Temperature

The power dissipated within the socket is a function of the current at the pin level and
the effective pin resistance. To ensure socket long term reliability, Intel defines socket
maximum temperature using a via on the underside of the motherboard. Exceeding the
temperature guidance may result in socket body deformation, or increases in thermal
and electrical resistance which can cause a thermal runaway and eventual electrical
failure. The guidance for socket maximum temperature is listed below:

&#8226; Using temperature under socket < 96 &#176;C

Note: Based on the system enabling boundary condition, the solder ball temperature can vary
and needs to be comprehended for reliability assessment.
