Got the bad boy @ 3559 mhz running at 72C while installing photoshop. o_O

I assume thats high, whats a good budget cooler for this bad boy? Also need a couple of 120mm fans. Quietness isnt important eather.
 
One of the best HSF units for the money:

If you don't need quiet, you could pair the following fan with the S1283 and generate enough airflow to suck nearby insects into the system:

I'm thinking about mounting a couple of these as front intake fans on my floor-sitting case. Not only will it cool the system, it should eliminate my rodent problem. I'll just need to get up each morning and peel the mice off the front grill ;)

Not only that, but you can probably slice your veggies with it. :D

My solution was to mount MANY quiet, low speed intake fans whereever I could, and let the PS and case fan exhaust what they can. Works like a dream.

My old system used a bunch of HSF's that, had I mounted them to the bottom of the case, would probably hovered my system 2" above the floor. I still need to find a use for 'em.

Regardless, I doubt that I'd hear anything with 700W of surround sound. I'm having trouble hearing anything after watching Iron Man on Blu-Ray...plus real life just ain't that attractive afterwards. :)
 
Maybe you can find the Kingwin Revolution RVT-12025 cheap? as its a copy of the Xiggy. Otherwise wait for it to go onsale.

But Yep the S1283 is great and will OC any dual core to the max w/o issue, I highly recommend it!!!
 
It looks OK for the price but i would deff try to get something with a 120mm fan as long as you have room
