CPU cooler for AMD Phenom II x4 955 BE
I got this CPU for Xmas, and I am planning on overclocking it. I am just looking for suggestions on good coolers for $100 or less.
If you need the name of the mobo, just ask.
Thanks

Buddy of mine bought this one a couple of weeks ago.
Newegg.com - ARCTIC COOLING Freezer 7 Pro Rev.2 92mm Fluid Dynamic CPU Cooler - CPU Fans & Heatsinks
Seems pretty happy with it.
(comes with pre-applied Arctic MX-2)
EDIT: Btw, nice choice going with the 955.
i7 920-esque gaming performance for ~$130 bucks less.
Newegg.com - COOLER MASTER Intel Core i7 compatible V8 RR-UV8-XBU1-GP 120mm Rifle CPU Cooler - CPU Fans & Heatsinks
Cooler Masters are pretty good. Its quite large though. As DarkDavil said, make sure you have enough room.
You'll most likely have room. I'm trying to figure out how tall it is but I seem to end up with 2cm, which seems no where close. That's a little less than an inch.
On newegg, one of the reviews says:
"It has a backplate that goes behind the motherboard to support the weight. Removal of the motherboard to install is required."
So if that bothers you, you may want to pick a different one.
