Thinking of buying this cpu heatsink/fan
http://www.newegg.com/Product/Produc...82E16835106123
My Heatsink Gets really hot, around 56/57 after 20 mins of use, and Im not going to stand for that Now I wanted to ask you guys, would this be a good Heatsink? Atleast drop it a few(maybe 5) degrees thanks |

Re: Thinking of buying this cpu heatsink/fan
It's looks cool and it's not a bad heatsink. There are much better and cheaper heatsinks available.
Thermaltake SpinQ Heatsink Review This is one of the better heatsinks available: XIGMATEK HDT-S1283 |

Hmm, so that one is better? Or just cheaper?

Yeah, the XIGMATEK is great. But if you want to spend about the same, this COOLER MASTER V8 is boatloads better and will make a world of difference from the Thermaltake you had picked out.
