    Yeah, I like that one.
    It looks much smaller than the ZALMAN.
    But thats just me.
    lol.

    Well am going to keep my money in the bank for a while.
    I'll hold off until I get $200 bucks that I won't be needing.

    Have a good look at the one linnemeyerhere suggested. It's winning most of the head-to-head cooler shootouts these days.
    Which one is that?
    Newegg.com - CORSAIR Hydro H70 CWCH70 120mm High Performance CPU Cooler

    The H50 is not too bad, either.

    All in good time,
    Meanwhile, am going to do more testing on my computer.

    I haven't really tried anything else except playing Fallout 3 and Modern Warfare 2 lol.
    Oh! I get 100FPS Max, 60FPS Average, and 50FPS low on 1280x720 res.
    And all the settings maxed. (On Modern Warfare 2)

    Looks pretty awesome man,
    But am just a beginner.
    I try to limit myself on things that may be out of my reach.
    Water cooling for instance.

    That's the beauty of it. These are completely sealed and ready-to-go coolers. Attach one end to the CPU just like any other heat sink, then bolt the other end in like any other fan.

    Boom - you're done.

    I'll try to get more in depth how water cooling works. lol
    I just want to know what am doing before I consider about purchasing one!

    For the H50 and H70 you don't have to know anything.

    Hey guys,
    So I was on Craiglist yesterday and I found someone that is selling me the AMD Phenom II X2 560 Black Edition
    He wants $80 for both the CPU and heatsink.

    What do you guys think?
    Good deal?
    I know that I can unlock this CPU to 4 cores.
    Thats what really caught my attention.

    EDIT

    I forgot to mention that he's selling this heatsink including with the CPU.
