I am going to buy a processor fan for my dual core CPU. But i am confused with big or small heat sinks.

Please let me choose from the following two.

Hello,

Ok, they look the same size and I would go with Coolermaster as I've never heard of Zebronics and coolermaster seem pretty reliable.

A bigger heatsink compared to a small heatsink will cool your CPU more efficiently than a smaller one. It will combat the heat better and the fan will blow the heat away.

They should both work assuming you have 775 motherboard. Get the cooler-master because it is a known brand.

hi, the cooler master looks like small and is all aluminum very thin, it doest look very good, do you have an old pentium 4 cooler or a friend with one of those, those would probably be better.
