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

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.
