Hello again!
I have a Q6600 on the Asus Striker Extreme, and currently I am using the stock heatsink. But my CPU temps are in the mid 40's when idle and I no longer like this. And it's pretty loud.
I used Asus's Q-Fan option to control the CPU fan (is this a good idea by the way?).
What do you guys recommend for a new heatsink for my setup? I want a QUIET one, decent quality, and one that will keep it cooler than it is now. I do have a budget in mind, but I want to see a few of the heatsinks before I make it definite (this is a pretty important mechanism in the computer so its definitely worth the extra $)
Thanks in advance!
