I suck with computers

[AMX 390]

I got a thermaltake Silent Tower, and i think its the ugliest profanity removed ever. its just a box sitting in my Xoxide X-Blade. i was thinkin of getting somethin along the lines of a SilverStone Nitrogon NT01 V2.0 Heatpipe Cooler or a AeroCool GT1000 Gold Plated Cooler. I got the OTES ram coolers and I dont plan on moving them, besides I'll need them later on when I do overclock. What is the best cpu cooler without using liquid? What fits and doesnt? Also, I got an Abit AN8 Fatal1ty with a Athlon 64 3200. Im a bit confused too, on top of my mobo box next to the bar code, it says 2.0GHz hypertransport tech, but online is says it has a 3GHz bus. Which is right?

The thermal right XP-120, XP-90C, and XP-90 are the best non liquid cooling HS's you can get right now. Slap a nice 120mm fan (or 92mm90mm for the xp-90 series) and that thing will cool it down like a freezer compared to what you have now, don't forget to slap on some AS5 aswell

I'm not quite understanding your last question...? Are you asking what the hyper transport runs at or like that actuall speed of the processor?

im looking for a cooler that wont interfere with my OTES ram coolers.
for my last question, i just want to confirm that the AN8 Fatal1ty is indeed has a 3GHz bus, because my box says it uses 2.0 GHz hypertransport tech. is that its bus speed?
