I have an Intel-based CPU (socket 370). What's the best heatsink/fan to use? I read some reviews over the Internet, but they seem to cover only AMD-based CPUs. Are the heatsink/fan the same?
Do you know any good links or reviews that I could look at? Thanks!

socket A and socket 370 are compatable, people say the SK6 is the best but may not be for intel because copper keeps heat for longer, on the main page is a review of a heatsink made out of alumium, get that one
most anything high performance for AMD will work well on intel chips as long as the mounting method is compatible
because amd runs much hotter than intel
I think that is correct
I would say the ALPHA PAL6035 for the Socket 370.
I have one with a 72watt Peltier on it and it ROCKS!!!!:D
Even with the Peltier it rocks.

Swiftech MC370-0A
VERY good performance.... Light weight... Medium sound levels
This is where my money would go if I didn't water cool.

Thanks for the replies. I'll keep in mind with your recommedations and I'll see which one is the best for my PC (and my wallet -- those heatsinks/fans cost a lot!). :eek:
