Overclocking a X4 955 Black Edition to 4ghz.

What CPU cooler would you suggest so I can overclock my CPU to 4ghz without having to worry about overheating? I don’t want to spend too much, so please don’t link me the top of the line, but I would like a decent one.

It would have to work with this motherboard I'm buying with it: http://www.overclockers.co.uk/showproduct.php?prodid=MB-278-GI

Thanks in advance

i have a Arctic Cooling Freezer 7 Pro Rev 2 CPU Cooler on my 555 unlocked to tri-core @ 3.8GHz and temps dropped from 74C to around the 50C under load with IBT running for 20 cycles so for under £20 i would consider this.

easy to fit too

no backplates just clips on to your existing plate, cant go wrong with it.
