Heatsink

lm looking for some reviews on heatsinks, rather than look through random sites lm more interested in some users accounts of users that actually use them.

in any case ideally lm looking for a reasonably inexpensive heatsink, lm currently using a stock AMD heatsink which is rated for a higher chip than l already have, regardless while my temps arent bad l would like to see how far l can get them down without loosing performance as well as have a heatsink for future upgrades to faster chips...

as my spec dictates (which is added to my profile) lm running a AMD Athlon II x2 250, and l had looked at the local comp shop at a few heatsinks however the engineer recommended that l ask around for user accounts as he has not exactly built many overclocker type systems (tbh lm not planning on overclocking, this is just purely a bit of hardware that l can use for future upgrades and sort of something l want to do in the interest of how much temp l can get it down to)

in any case anyone have any recommendations so l can see if l can get my hands on a good cpu cooler.

well under £50 would be inexpensive tho cheaper would be nice but good coolers and cheap dont always go hand in hand.

Depends on what you look at. Here is cheap and good,

Better than the stock heatsink, and even though you said you won't be overclocking is OK for that too (just not extreme overclocking).

not exactly bothered about sound, l can sleep through a thermaltake volcano heatsink running at 6000 RPM l do like the Noctua l saw on the above link, and lve already got a second 120mil fan already so if it comes with one then there is no prob and quite honestly l prefer heatsink fans running at full anyways.

wonder how much better the temps will be with arctic silver rather than that "white crap"
