hello all! i have built a comp around a athlon 64 2.2 939 cpu and am now looking to overclock a bit. what air cooler do you guys like? i would like to stay under
$50 and don't really want one of those 2 pound monsters hanging of the board.

Um let's try a different one how about....

That's the cooler you want around your price range. I recommend really nothing else.
