Cheap & effective heatsink for QX9650 Extreme

Hi,

I have a QX9650 Extreme that I don't overclock. I just want it to work for a long time 🙂

I have a Freezer 7 Pro with a dead fan. It's hard to find a spare fan for that heatsink in my region.

I need a recommendation for a cheap, quiet and effective heatsink for my QX9650. I think it's 130W TDP max. I just need it to keep the CPU cool even without AC in the room (about ~30C-35C in the room when I'm not at home).

Thanks a lot! 🙂
 
Youve already got a Freezer 7 which is much better than a stock cooler...if you need a fan just go find any old 92mm (should be 10$ or less) and rubberband it to the cooler. Itll be much easier and cheaper than a new cooler (theres a few good units in the ~30$ range).

Ive got 2 old Arctic Cooling units that had the same issue, fans just dont last forever...but I had plenty of fans laying around so I just strapped a new one on and they still work.
