I have an AMD Athlon II x4 635 and the OEM Cooler sucks it lets the chip get too hot although at idle it is fine but at 100% (Video Encoding) it get to be about 150-155F and it is very loud at that temp
The case I have it in is a SFF SilverStone Sugo SG01-E-B
The computer is my HTPC
I was thinking of buying a Phenom II copper heatpipe cooler but I don't know if they are any good, Are they decent? or what is a better cooler for a 95Watt TDP Chip? The CPU is running at stock so I don't have to worry about extra heat from the CPU
Oh the manual of the case says the Cooler is to be 88MM or lower

Thanks
 
I use a Scythe Big Shuriken in my HTPC/SC2 build with a Phenom II 555 @3.83GHz. It never goes above 50 C under Prime 95. 58 mm tall and it's quiet at full RPMs... highly recommended.
