I built a computer for my friend... I decided to go with the LGA775 chipset 3.4 version (I usually steer clear of Intel but it's what he wanted). The fan that comes with the CPU is a real piece of work, not in a good way.
My question:
Has anyone else had an issue with the stock CPU fan and heatsink that comes with this chipset? Currently, it does not sit flush and leads to frequent shutting of the CPU. I can avoid the issue by sitting the case on its side, but this is not a fix I want to have my friend using.
Can anyone suggest a replacement heatsink and fan for this CPU.
Thanks in advance

p.s. - I know this is a fan/heatsink issue, but I wanted to post here since it is a stock bundled fan/heatsink rather than an aftermarket piece.
