Hello,

I've been nosing around various vendors for a good CPU cooling setup(Air), but I am finding there is nothing or little out there for my 790gx Asus AM3 board with an 810X4 amd cpu. Any suggestions? I have it OC'd to 3.36ghz atm, but the full load test temps are just a hair to high for my liking with the stock CPU cooling.
 
Sunbeam CCTF. My personal preference for a GREAT combination between the fact that it is $30 and the fact that it is great at cooling. (and the retention system is made for Amd.)
 
The Sunbeam Chancecoats recommended would be a good choice. Any of the heatsinks that are labeled for AM2/AM2+ will also fit the AM3 processors/motherboards.
