Hey,
I just built a new PC and am awaiting the parts, but I had a lingering question. I have heard that for those who are planning on running a NON OVERCLOCKED Core 2 Duo, that it was not necessary to go out and get a new heatsink, because the stock heatsink actually performs well. Should I go out and get a heatsink if I don't plan on overclocking my PC ? I will list the specs below. Please let me know so I don't burn my new processor.
The specs:
Processor : Intel Core 2 Duo E6300 Conroe
Motherboard : ASUS P5L-VM 1394
Video Card : BFG Tech BFGR76256GTOCE GeForce 7600GT
Memory : CORSAIR ValueSelect 1GB 240-Pin DDR2 SDRAM DDR2 667
Hard Drive : Western Digital Caviar SE16 WD2500KS 250GB
Case : COOLER MASTER Centurion 5 CAC-T05-UW
Power Supply : THERMALTAKE TR2 500W
I think my cooling should be fine, as I won't have too much going on, but let me know what you think.
