So, because I had to remove my heatsink so many times, I want to get some new thermal compound for it. Looking at this:
http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16835100007
Seems good - 169/5.1k ratings under 4 stars.
For the heatsink/fan combo itself, I have literally no idea. Not looking to spend too much (I'd say $40-$50 was probably the highest I would really want to spend). I've got a Phenom II X4 955 3.2GHz Black Edition CPU, which I believe is socket AM3. Quiet is a big plus for me, but as I run a Radeon HD 4890 (fairly loud card), it's not too much of an issue.
Could I get your suggestions? Thanks in advance .
For my case, I have an NZXT Source 210. Probably about 6", MAYBE 7" of clearance for the fan (I'm not sure, just eyeballed a distance). That should be enough, right? .
