Something like the Aero 7 would work, or an SK-7/<a href="http://www.pcabusers.com/reviews/ax7/p1.html">AX7</a> would also do well. Best solution is an SLK800. And of course a decent 80 or 92mm fan. The SLK900 is even better, but it bolts to the mobo. Which I hate. But you might prefer that. An SLK800U also bolts to the mobo.

the only problem with those ones is my mother board has it own speed controll.... so would that cause a problem if the fan had it as well?

Only if you had the fan connected to your mobo. Just connect it to a seperate molex, or get a different fan.

That taisol looks interesting, but I've never used it.

I have the SLK800 and I can vouch for it's effectiveness. Very, very nice cooler all the way.
