Rokkaholik Posted August 2, 2008 Posted August 2, 2008 There's similar parts you can substitute, but I went for the best I could find that also had either free shipping or a good rebate to keep the cost down and within the ballpark. Newegg is out, but you could also look for a Thermalright Ulrea 120 Extreme CPU heatsink and attach a Scythe S-Flex fan and substitute it for the Xigmatek. It's more expensive, but common knowledge around here is that it;s the best cooler out there at the moment Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
