I broke one of the fins on my current heatsink so its spinning and vibrating my whole desk. I was wondering what would be a good replacement for my heatsink? I have a Zalman heatsink but I'm not sure which one I have.. I would like a heatsink that I won't need to go in back of the motherboard for so a Zalman or something similar is what I'm looking for. Any suggestions? Thx!
 
Arctic Cooling Freezer 64.

It's cheaper, and runs almost as cool as the XP-120. I have a processor like yours and it really doesn't produce much heat, being only single core.

Most people in this forum will choose Arctic Ceramique. But, I believe Thermalright already supplies a tube of paste compound in the bundled heatsink.

For a Fan, people tend to like the Yate Loon Low speed Orange fan.

water both cpu and gpu. 😛

Air cant touch water temps.

Read my sticky on a basic general guide, then ask recomendation for parts on this forum.

Ummm... if you wanted the best, its water, but be prepared to spend $$$.
 
im not really tryin to spend alot of money on this computer.. im gettin a new laptop for work but i play WoW on this 1 so thats y im lookin for a heatsink..would it be possible just to replace the fan on my heatsink? its a zalman and i think 120mm.. id unno which model tho but its a circular heatsink with aluminum and like copper on the outter sides if that makes sense..
 
sry 4 the bump.. just wanna know if its possible to just replace the fan before i go and buy a whole heatsink/fan
