as you can see in the pic, my mobo has the 4 hole HS/waterblock support. and i was wondering, what's a really good heatsink to use, that uses the 4 holes.. im not a big fan of clips.. hwne i put my on, i always hear things crack.. altho nothing as broke.. and ive even made the spring clip on my cak-38 softer.. but the only heatsink ive found that uses the 4 hole support is the Alpha PAL8045... im thinking of getting a water cooling system, but im getting my own airconditioner in my room.. so ill have it 60F in here 24/7 to help cooling.. so im probly just gonna get the best heatsink i can find if i can find a 80mm one that uses the holes..
thanks

The mc462a Heatsink uses a 80mm fan and the 4 surrounding holes. performers about the same as the alpha.

the 3 places i buy my mod/cooling stuff either dont have that sink or out of stock.. the alpha one i mean.. i looks really nice tho.. and it will match my blue/black case theme =)

Copper is good.. but i wish they'd make a full sliver sink.. or half cop/sliv
