Need HSF for LGA775

[Darknessxk]

I'm looking for a decent HSF for the LGA 775 socket. I wont be overclocking so that wont be a factor. I found the gigabyte 3D rocket cooler and the Thermaltake jungle from newegg. I'm planning on picking up the Abit AS8 and I found out some that the Thermaltake silent tower doesnt fit on the board because of the placements of some compacitors. Also, the 3D rocket cooler looks huge so I was wondering also if it would have any problems fitting in a normal mid tower case. Thanks.

Thanks.

Probably a re-link...
But TomsHardware benchmarked 5 "different" (IF you can call them that), Socket LGA775 heatsinks.

I cannot get over the fact that ThermalTake, CoolerMaster, Titan and EKL could not break away from the stock Intel HS design. 😱

Oh sure, the Titan has black fins instead of plain aluminum. But the pack still couldn't beat out Intel for cooling or noise.

Why should we support these companies with our hard earned $$ if they are just going to be followers, instead of leaders?

End Of Rant... 😉

Or you can buy this adapter and use a S478 cooler:

Zalman also makes an adapter for their 7000 seires. I'd defently take that over the coolermaster.
