Best cooler for a C2Q Q9300

Hey people,
My cpu temp is up around 60c when my cabinet is closed. Top and side of mid tower fall cpu-temp to around 36 C.

So it was I thought .. either air flow entirely (which it probably is a bit) or it is my boxed Q9300 standard radiator just not good enough. I've heard that before the standard coolers put on only fans can keep the CPU alive.

What would be a good choice for a duck cpu cooler? I am not over and is most interested in keeping it as silent as possible, but will not be in the water cooling. And it must be able to sit in a Cooler Master mid-tower.

If you have npget good quality cold paste available as tear box cooler and give it something new, it may well help to some extent. Just remember there should be only a thin layer.

Is slightly cheaper than having to shop new radiator.

I have little brother to it here - Thermal Right IFX-14.
It lets you put 2. 120mm fan on, it should do a lot;)

Someone who has experience with "NorthQ 3580 Siberian Tiger Water Cooler"?

You wrote well enough that you was not interested in water cooling, but this one looks exciting and simple addition.

That was good enough, something of a brick ;)
