CPU Heatsink :~

I'm using a Noctua NH-C12P on my Phenom X6, and it rarely, if ever, reaches more than around 55c even after extended high-use periods. In my opinion Noctua make some of the best coolers around. Then again, I've been a Noctua Fanboi ever after using their older tower-coolers, and only use their fans in my comps. That being said, they can be a real bitch to clean, since you have to detach the fans before you can get the dust out of the fins.

Before you do go out and dish out on a new CPU-cooler, examine the airflow inside your case, since bad airflow isn't something you can fix with a new CPU-cooler.
