How much improvement would you think I would see going from stock cooler to a Coolermaster Hyper 6 on my FX-51? My temps:
CPU: ~41C idle, ~53C load

I am debating if it is worth upgrading, I would probley use AS5 or Cremeque with it also... If you have any other suggestions of Heatsinks or comments please post.

Thermalright XP90
 
Hyper6 is a sweet cooler

it cools my presscott 478pin(by far some of the hottest cpus) down to 50c load, and thats at 1.5v!!

I was damn impressed with this cooler, just a bit of a pain to get lined up right
 
Hmm... I am starting to change my mind about the hyper 6 though... I go to the occational LAN, around 1 every two weeks, and I dont want to be worried about the heatsink under 2 lbs. of pressure. I am thinking between XP-90, XP-120, and SLK948U. They all seem to do a good job, and it hard to tell which is better (if you have a review of all 3 in one please post). Also, I am shying away from the XP-120 since it is DOUBLE the price of the SLK948, and almost of the XP-90, and I highly doubt that it cools twice as well or that my ears will care much. A 92MM fan is realtivly quiet (minus tornado) and moves alot of air. Can I get someone with those heatsinks and thier opinions?
