So, I finally broke down and picked up a couple of 2600K CPUs for my gaming boxes and am wondering what you folks are using for heatsinks. I'm running about 70-75C under full load running Rift (stock clock settings) and I'd like to get that down under 65C at the very least, preferably under 60C.
Things I'm looking for:
- Air cooling (not interested in water, even the closed "zero-maintenance" systems)
- Screw-down CPU baseplate (not the plastic push-pins)
- Relatively small footprint (don't need the double-wide three-fan monsters)
- Preferably comes with a PWM fan installed.
- Needs to fit in a mini-tower case. I don't have humongous RAM heatsinks so clearance should not a problem.
