I am looking for better heatsink for my 2.4c processor under full load it runs 52c. It might not be to hot but to me its way to hot. I am running a coolermaster jet 4 but doesnt seem to be doing the trick. I use artic silver 5 too. Need some suggestions and possible links too if you dont mind. I would go water but my wife would kill me atm if i spent that much money. I need a good heatsink that will reduce my temps.

Have you tryied reseating the heatsink

if it is not attached properly that could cause problems

and to much as5 on the IHS will be bad

You can't go wrong with virtually anything from thermalright. And they let you choose your own fan to pair with their heatsinks, so you can get something nice and quiet that your wife will like. ;)

It never hurts doing the little things to keep the wife happy - it has its perks here and there. ;)

yes IMOG is right send away right now for a SLK 900 it is well worth the pittance they charge for their effectiveness. KDC sponsor on front page usually has great prices. Long term: here's what I did: buy just one water-cooling component per month; your wife won't question a single $34 charge here, or a $27 charge there...after all it is "just a PC part I needed...cough cough...Did you see I did the dishes?" Before you know it you have a self-modded case and a water sys you made yourself and can call your own.

I spent less then $100 on my water setup.
