Hey,
Maybe I'm ordering my parts today, so please give me some advice...
This is how it will be:
Q9550, I'm going to try OC it to 3.6 Ghz,
So I'll need a good heatsink that keeps it cool and preferably has some low noise...

Wich one should I get??
At first I was sure to take the xigmatek achilles, but now I read some revieuws and he doesn't seem that good..

Wich one is better??
please help me fast!!:p


Thanks!

almost all reputable heat syncs will do a good job provided you have lots and lots airflow

Yep. Thermalright with 120mm fan would be nice :)

1. Give me a URL for your shop.
2. motherboard model?
3. case model?

We need to know all that because some coolers don't fit on some MBs or in some cases.

The xigymatek rifle cooler is the favorite around here.

When I saw the reviews at newegg they weren't very positive and telling there were a lot better ones out there for thesame price... (for the achilles that was)
