Hello
I'm a newb at overclocking. I recently built a new computer, with the following specs:

CPU: AMD Phenom 9850 Black Edition Quad-Core 2.5 GHz Socket AM2+
MOBO: Gigabyte GA-MA790FX-DQ6
RAM: 4GB Corsair
Case: MIST Define *
GFX: GeForce 8800GTS 512MB
PSU: MIST 600W

*
NO hot-linking images - DaveMac


Width: 190 mm
Height: 485 mm
Standard: ATX

Now... I wanna overclock the CPU. I tried overclocking it using the stock fan, but started having stability issues, so I clocked it down again.

Can anyone please recommend me a fan, based on the following criteria, ranked after importance:
1. Silent
2. Easy to install (preferably one using the mounting system of the stock fans, so I don't need to pull out the mobo)
3: Well... one that cools very well :p
4: Price

Thanks in advance :)

Uh? Now I'm confused.
If you mean the Microplex links, it's because MIST isn't a well-known brand, so you guys could see which fan might be able to fit into the case... I can remove them, if it's a problem.
 
Yes, the same mounting system.
Can't find it in Norway, but I assume I could order it from OCUK, or somewhere else abroad.
Is it good?
 
I found it on some obscure online shop here. Unless anyone has any other suggestions, I'm gonna go for that fan. Thanks, thefishdude. :)
