| 732979 | 2008-12-28 02:33:00 | Hi all, I am currently looking for a good quality after-market heatsink for my LGA775 Core 2 Quad Q6600 cpu. Sub $100 if possible. How does this one perform?? (www.ascent.co.nz) Any ideas? Thx :) |

| 732980 | 2008-12-28 02:49:00 | These (www.playtech.co.nz) are very nice heatsinks, very close to the $100 mark though. Do you just want a heatsink or heatsink and fan? Why do you want one lower noise, OCing? |

| 732981 | 2008-12-28 06:08:00 | Check out the Vantec FX120 (www.tastech.co.nz). Fantastic value for money and much, much better than the Freezer Pro you listed and right up there with some of the $120+ coolers (Cooler Master V8, Thermalright Ultra 120). Very good review here (www.frostytech.com). |

| 732982 | 2008-12-28 07:22:00 | Thanks for the ideas guys - your one seems to be the one to go for Jason :) One thing occurred to me - should I be worried about it's size in my case? I have a Gigabyte GZ-X1 Mid tower |

| 732983 | 2008-12-28 07:30:00 | The thing you have to be careful of, is will it block anything once you put it on the mobo. It maybe block a port you may want to use. or a hdd if its on the opposite side |

| 732984 | 2008-12-28 07:36:00 | Just had a look at the mobo - it has a copper pipe setup around the heatsink at the moment - would I need to remove it? Board is an Asus P5KC.... | jwil1 (65) | ||
| 732985 | 2008-12-28 07:41:00 | Ah no its there for a reason | Speedy Gonzales (78) | ||
| 732986 | 2008-12-28 07:45:00 | If it helps, here's a shot of the inside of it.... (www.imagef1.net.nz) geez it's dusty! :D | jwil1 (65) | ||

| 732988 | 2008-12-28 07:55:00 | lol I will :D I had an old machine (PIII) that had a small heatsink full of dust - quickly fixed with a flick of the vacuum cleaner :lol: |
