CPU Heat Sinks
 

I have a core i3-530 on a Gigabyte h55m-ud2h. I was wondering what heat sink i should get for overclocking and for something less quiet.

I was looking at this one. http://ncix.com/products/?sku=44398&...acture=Corsair

Any feedback/suggestions welcome :)

why are you getting such an expensive heatsink?

if you're only doing mild overclocks, the best budget performance cpu heatsink is the coolermaster 212plus.

ncix has it for $29, but you can pricematch it down to $22.

great reviews on it, check it out on overclock.net too!

Oh.. lol But if your willing to spend $90 on a heat sink, why didn't you spend the $90 more on a better cpu?

The H50 is a budget water cooling solution. In most reviews, it ranks about as good as the better air based coolers. Certainly worth considering if you're looking for a quiet solution.

If you're looking for air coolers, a few that rank pretty well are the Prolimatech Megahalems (which is probably the top rated air cooler out there), the Thermalright Ultra 120 Extreme and if you're looking for something a bit more affordable, then perhaps the Scythe Mugen 2 is worth looking at.
