    If you can afford it and your motherboard wil take it, the Alpha Pal8045 is generally regarded as the best option with a fan of your choice. If not, then the Taisol 760 is a fantastic budget option

    alright thanks. I have a gigabyte mobo but don't know what kind it is. I'm looking at buying a new one that supports DDR ram. I think i'll just build another computer
