looking for a new hsf

[sYstEmATiC]

Well I'm looking for a new hsf for my e6600. I have been out of the loop cooling loop for a little while so I'm not sure whats "the best" so to speak. Last time I was looking at heatsinks, I had my eye on the tuniq tower. Is this still one of the better heatsinks or can I get 2 or 3C better? I am searching around and reading reviews but if anyone wants to recommend some good ones it will be a lot of help.

Thanks,

Brian

 

EDIT*

I just read reviews on the sythe mine and the thermalright ultra120 extreme and they both seem to beat the tuniq tower by about 1-2C. Anything top these 2?

I have the Scythe Mine. Not heavy at all, very easy to mount. Not that tall either.

 

Though, I think the Thermalright Ultra 120 Extreme or the Tuniq tower are still the best out there.

 

Then again, the scythe mine is probably the best bang for the Buck. I only paid 31$ for it.. (

When I was Clocked @ 3.41 Ghz my Load temp just hit 60C. (Orthos)

SMP folding hits 45C.. ( @ 3.204 Ghz) (Which I am currently testing for SMP Stability, 3 days so far)

Though, I "might" have put to much AS5 on it, so I may remount/repaste later and see if temps improve.

 

Btw, you can run your RAM @ 4-3-3-10 timmings. And I think 1T at those speeds.

I'd go for an Ultra 120 Extreme if price is no concern, but if you're looking for the best bang for your buck, the Scythe Mine is a good choice.

sorry for the late reply. i ended up going with the scythe mine and i love it. like ste said im pretty impressed by how light it is given its size.

im at 3.6ghz @ 1.26v and i load @ 43C with dual instances of prime95. i hope to hit 3.8
