Aww.. Do we have to tell him?
That an air cooler isn't capable? Yes it is...

Your'e right. It's actually better to use air than water for BE chips. Just get the 212 evo and some replacement fans. Or shop around for something else, I kind of hate to say 212 evo. I'm still running mine under water with rather lame results. 3.8Ghz 24/7 stable, though I have had it post at 4.5Ghz, quickly crashed during win7 gui. Its just because I have a 620 laying around.

I use a Cooler Master 212+ (Plus). It's not expensive and does a very good job. Just make sure you don't have a too small case.
