AMD Phenom II x6 1055T - Cooling Help

[Wulfuhrier]

With the system Setup i have listed below...

What CPU cooler would you recommend for Overclocking and quiet as hell for a AMD Phenom II x6 1055T - 2.8GHz, 3.3Ghz Turbo Core??

Right now i have the stock cooler and not OC'd yet. Wanting to go as high as 3.0Ghz for this system. (Mentioned Here)

so ANY HELP, suggestions would greatly be appreciated. I'd like to go the not so cheap rout but not so expensive either. If i have to shell out a little bit that's fine by me.

I do a lot of Photoshop, Illustrator, Microsoft Expression Web (for web page coding), AutoDesk AutoCAD & Revit Architecture 2010. So my system would need to be able to kick a$$. I sometimes run these programs at the same time and get lag and or BSOD. I just want to tweak it, forget it and not have to worry about it ever.

Please Help, Thanks

Oorah!

Noctua D14 if your case has enough clearance to the side panel. At least 8" across outside measurement should do it. The D14 is a big cooler with quiet fans. What make and model case do you have?

Your current instability might be because your running your 1600 mhz rated ram at 1600 mhz. That's probably the XMP or overclocked rating and besides, the AMD integrated memory controller is only rated for 1333 mhz. With the kind of software apps you are running you would probably benefit from more ram but lowered to 1333 mhz.

I wish i knew Doesn't have any m/n or serial anywhere on it Though it looks like it would have the clearance but knowing would def help...

The case needs to be a minimum of 8" deep and no side fan on the door.

Ok! After some searching around it seems that i have an exact but older version of the Novatech Galaxy III Case with an Extreme 450W PSU. It's probalbly the Galaxy II. The only difference is that my LED's are red and i removed the 90mm case fan from the side see through door and moved it to the front of the case as an air intake to direct cool air across my HDD's & installed a 120mm rear exhaust fan.

There Dimensions are: 410 x 200 x 480mm (HxWxD)

Hope this helps

200mm, convert it. Is it 8" deep?

Not quite wide enough for the 120 mm fan-based tower coolers. 8" is about 203 mm. Either go for water or a 92 mm fan-based tower cooler. Or, get a wider case.

cant go water cooler because this case doesn't have the port holes for it And can you elaborate on 92mm fan-based cooler... Do you have and suggestions to which ones would be better for an AM3 Phenom II x6 Core CPU where I'm trying to OC to 3.4GHz?
