Hello I've been out of the loop for a while, finding that my PC turns itself off in the middle of heavy games as the big graphics card heats it up like an oven and the cpu only has a piddly stock cooler.

So what's a good value midrange cooler these days? Years ago it was Thermaltake? I'd want to spend around £20, maybe more?

Also my front fans are some 120mm Akasa ones which I must have bought for quietness but they are completely useless, no air flow at all. I've swapped one for a random 80mm with more airflow but it's a tad loud.

So tldr I need a cooler for AM3, 3x 120mm and 1x 140mm to replace case fans, I want decent airflow but not too loud, 3 pin so i can use the fan controller ive got.

What would you get?
