Xigmatek hdt-s1283

I am looking at getting a new CPU heatsink / fan to replace the stock one I have at the moment, which is starting to make some rather wierd noises on start up :\
I ain't the richest person in the world and limited as to what I can buy, about £30.00 to end. So I was wondering if the XIGMATEK HDT-S1283 would be a good heatsink / fan to buy?

Thank you in advance

Yes, the HDT-S1283 is a great cooler. Just make sure it fits in your case.

Part of me hopes it doesn't, gives me a good excuse to buy a new case hahaha

Well I got my new fan today, it has dropped my CPU temp down by 15 - 20 degrees at idle, ie. from 60 down to 40.
The bad news is, it fits in my case, so I don't get to buy a new one haha

LOL good to know it worked out for you.

You sound like my wife lol,
Here was me hoping it wasn't going to fit, and here was her 'it will either fit, or I will MAKE it fit' - I was so gutted haha
