HSF for core 2 quad setup

[mattmos]

Hi,

I've just taken the plunge with a QX6700, Intel Bad axe 2 and Antec P180, and am looking for a decent HSF to keep the cpu cool.

I will not be majorly overclocking as I need the rig to be stable for long periods of time but would like to squeeze a bit more out of it (maybe 3Ghz if its achievable with lowish temps).

Does anyone have any recommendations? I would prefer something low profile but am open to suggestions, as long as they fit in the case!

cheers
matt

This thread has collated reviews of lots and lots of different heatsinks, in more detail that I know about or could go into. You won't need anything special because it's quad-core, just a good quality LGA-775 cooler.

That's a great thread, thanks for the link 🙂

Somehow missed it when I was searching for info earlier...
