Following a thread which i started the other day, i am probably going to get a new cpu cooler, but i am not sure what will be a worthwhile upgrade.

I currently have a AC Freezer 7 pro with a 965 be at 4ghz. It is stable but i am starting to think it was a bit ambitious, especially as after an hour of gaming on Crysis 2 ACB or Bad Company 2 my cpu will hit 60-62degrees. I know that this is still safe, but it's not great after an hours gaming really is it?

Basically, i am happy with the Freezer's ability when idle, but not under load(it is at 100% all the time btw, as it is practically silent)

Probably looking to spend around £40-50 if i need to. I would consider water cooling, but i'm not sure as i have not used a water cooler before.
 
looks good. Was about to post that as the link is no longer working.

Spent most of the day sorting out the airflow in the Phantom. Not easy fitting the fans on that case. Had to use cable ties for 2 of them. Amazing the difference it makes though. Just the addition of a floor intake fans lowered system temps by a few degrees!
