I am still on my stock cooler and can't overclock past 3.7Gz which is killing me because at 4Gz my fps doubles at max graphics in fsx. So I need to get one for my AMD 8120 which is AM3+, from what i have been reading any Am2 will work. Should I go with air cooling, or something along the lines of the H80/H70. Also how much would it cost to do real liquid cooling, I don't know much about it but i would really like to do this over the others cost permitting. What is the best site to look for this stuff?

I just need to find a good cooler and I don't know if the h80 is just all hype or if its really good.

I was recommended the Corsair H60, but maybe H80 is better for what you want? I've got Phenom II x4 (AM3 socket) and H60 was what I told was a good trade-off between cost and performance. It's also self-contained so no need to buy a lot of equipment.

I have the Corsair H60, and my CPU temps never get above 60C NovaBench. i7 2600K o.c. to 4.1 Ghz. It was really easy to install.
