Im new to overclocking but have been reading and researching information on these boards and you guys have been a great help so far. I now have some questions or rather querys for suggestions on my possible cooling options. I have to stay on a tight budget so water cooling or anything more extravagant is out of the question.

I'm currently running these specs:

AMD 9750 Quad 2.4 oc'd to 2.8(heatsink appears to be alluminum and stock)cpu fan rpm ranges from 2500-2550
2 gigs ddr2 1066 Gskill ram
msi k9n2 platinum am2 mobo sli
2 nvidea 8800 gt's 512 (identical)sli mode
and a pc power and cooling psu at 610 watts

Idle cpu temps range from 38c to 41c
and at full load 58c to 61c

I would like to push my processor over the 3.0 hump so I'm looking for anyone's suggestions on good cooling options to help me achieve that. Thanks in advance.
