yeah I do mean hsf but Im a newbie to these boards hehe

[sangapski]

the Intel HSF is pretty good and you can get a decent OC with it

check the heatsink roundup to help you decide which aftermarket HS to go with

SLK-800/900
Alpha PALxxxx
SwiftTech MCX400
-just to name a few

If cheap and good performing is what you're after, I'd recommend the Thermaltake Volcano 7.

It has 3 speed settings on the fan, allowing you some quite time when not pushing the CPU

[hooah]

there is also the Zalman 7000cu all-copper which i decided to go with for my 2.4C. i can't give ya temps yet, cause i'm still waiting for my Artic Silver 3, but there are about 4 popular ones i've read about. the most popular seems to be the SLK900 with a 92mm fan that pushes about 60-70cfm's at about 35db.
