intel core 2 extreme heatsink & fan needed

[jammoboss]

can anyone give me any links for a heatsink and fan for a intel core 2 extreme qx 6850 cpu.

I have been on ebay and seen this one but isnt £35 in total pretty expensive.

I have seen some cheaper ones on there but im not sure if they are the right ones.

thanks

You could get a Scythe or Thermalright for that price: http://search.ebay.co.uk/search/sea...trt=1&ftrv=1&saprclo=&saprchi=&fsop=32&fsoo=2

(Just make sure the dimentions fit your case and motherboard.)

so that is the going price for heatsink and fan, i think i will get the original, just to be on the safe side

Its about the right price for the enthusiast heat sinks.

Saying that, the intel stock hsf is very capable - e.g. can keep an Q6600 stable enough to be O/C'ed to 3GHz+.
