My 5200+ am2 is running at 42-45C @idle / 50-54C @full load

I wanna buy a powerfull fan or cooling device to keep the temps down. Any suggestions?

a $60 top price I think is my budget

If I remember correctly, these AM2 dual cores have a pretty narrow temperature range when compared to other processors. For the 5200+, the max is 55-72 depending on which revision you have.

I've had a Athlon 64 FX-62 for a while now. Depending on room temperature which fluctuates throughout the year, I'll see this thing idle anywhere from 35-45 and go 50-60 at load. I don't get lockups or stability issues, so I don't let it worry me. I'm using a Zalman 9500, and I keep an eye on the temperature using my LCD on my G15.
