CPU cooler upgrade?

[Nazgulian]

It may have been the GPU then. I'll have take another look. The case is in another post above. But here it is again. Newegg.com - Antec Three Hundred Illusion Black Steel ATX Mid Tower Computer Case

Thats a bit high for my budget i was looking for more around 50ish

Could I use any cooler really? Like would any cooler work in my case and mobo?

As long as it fits your pinouts. Every socket is different. Make sure in the description, it lists your board socket.

I would recommend you look into this.
Newegg.com - ARCTIC COOLING Freezer 7 Pro Rev.2 92mm Fluid Dynamic CPU Cooler

Also installing this on your AMD am2/am3 socket is quite easy.
If you ever go the intel upgrade 1156 route, do not bother with the push pins and use a standard lga 775 bracket underneath the mobo and 4 normal screw drivers to attach it on.

Had this for almost a year now, and it does not cause any problems at all.

Wow, actually forgot about that one. Yet I have it myself. I used the push pins on my i3 1155, but, whatever. Either way, it works.
