I have a Kraken x61 that just died/dying on me and not keeping my 5820k (oc @4.4ghz for many years) under control under load. Just looking for something that can keep temps in check with my applied overclock and looking for some recommendations. Could be heatsink fan or aio, but I'd like not to sink too much into this old system.  Down the road I'm thinking of throwing in a high core count xeon and making it my home server possibly. thanks!

The Thermalright Frost Tower 120 is a pretty good air cooler for only $32 US. There's multiple variations of it from Thermalright as well like the Phantom Spirit and Peerless Assassin, so you might be better off going for one of those depending on how the pricing works out where you are.
