OC'ed CPU running hot, need HSF recommendations.

[Staz]

I have a mobile 2500+ OC'ed to 2200(11x200). While my case is nice and cool, 34*C, my CPU is running quite hot. It averages 52* at low loads and peaks at 60*C during heavy loads. Even though it's been rock solid stable for 2 days of heavy usage, those temps are too high for my comfort level.

I need some recommendations for a new HSF, but don't want to break the bank buying one, so keep the recommendations to $30 or under. Thanks.

for $30 and under the recommendation, as always is the Zalman CNPS 7000A-AlCu. The 7000B-AlCu performs equally well and has just solved some compatability issues
Btw, tose temps are OK, just try too keep it below 70C.

I would also recommend the Zalman CNPS7000. Or, if that one is too big for your case, or otherwise won't fit, a Thermaltake solution (like the Silentboost) would also work just fine.

Also make sure to buy some good thermal paste (such as Arctic Silver) and to apply it properly. It'll reduce your temps by a few degrees centigrade.

Interesting style of cooler, looks cool. Might have to check it out.

What about a TT Volcano 12? Those seem popular also.

TT makes good HS/F. They aren't the absolute best in either performance nor silence, but do admirably well in both. Just make sure they have either a Smartfan or have a fan controller.
