Heat Sink Recommendations

[RED Hot Machine]

At the moment i'm using a standard cooler master HS. I've just order some new memory (see sig), and was thinking about upgrading my heatsink. I've got a delta fan on my coolermaster at the moment and get load temps of about 37c.

1. Is it worth changing my heatsink?

2. What do people recommend, i'm only after the heatsink not a HSF combo.

37°C loaded Thats incredible for a 1.4@1.64 shoot maybe I should get one of those hs.

If that wasnt an answer in itself I would say don't upgrade your doing quite nicely right now. Shoot I get 42°C load temps with my 1.2 @ default with 1.85vcore in a room 27.2°C with an sk6 but at 1.45 my temps go all the way up to 46°C at load .

I wonder what your room temps are?

Ouhh , well I'd say get an sk6 there pretty cheap (I think like 27bucks without a fan) and they work well. Heck that one time my fan never came on the sk6 saved me from buying a new cpu this thing is really nice.
