So you need a cooler even though you aren't overclocking?

How are you possibly getting super high temps without overclocking?

he probably just wants something quieter than the stock cooler i guess.

Break the fan blades off and just have the centerpiece spinning, ought to stop the noise.

Or you could get a different fan I suppose...
