Hey All....
I am looking for a new heatsink/fan for my CPU..... I think I will probably just replace the stock one I have, instead of just re-seating it....
I have :
ASUS Striker II Extreme LGA 775 NVIDIA nForce 790i Ultra SLI DDR3 ATX Intel Motherboard
Intel Core 2 Quad Q9450 Yorkfield 2.66GHz 12MB L2
I dont really care how much it costs..... I want the best for my setup..... I am seeing temps around 56c(idle) and roughly 62-64c under medium load.
I ran Prime95 last night and watched the temp skyrocket to 77c b4 i shut it down... the CPU "safe operating range" ends at 72C I have not really clocked this thing higher than factory 2.66.... as it gets too hot at only 2.83ghz.(approx 68c, idle)
I dont want to go liquid cooling... just not ready finincially yet for that....
SO!
What is the absolute best heatsink/fan combo I can install on this machine? Anyone have any suggestions ?
