Any good high quality computer fans/coolers?

Does anyone know any brands of internal fans/coolers that are really good? My comp likes to freeze due to overheating the motherboard. Can anyone help?

your best bet is to plan more than anything. The quality level between fans is negligible, and definetly not deserving of any major expense unless you're overclocking.

by planning i mean, figure out a logistical air flow path for the case and stick with it. 2 ok fans working a good path are better than 6 fans fighting eachother.

you could also just take the case off your computer and get one of those really big area fans and have it aimed at your computer ... that oughta help. I'd do that but my computer is in a place where if i were to take off the case it would be at risk of suffering internal damage

www.newegg.com is your friend.

Excellent prices and customer service. You cannot go wrong here. The area fan is a good temp. fix, but keep in mind it's blowing all kinds of dust and shit into your computer case.

May I assume you're overclocking an AMD?
