Hello,
I am sure that there are a lot of opinions on this, and I've been browsing the forums trying to find a common consensus with regards to what the best 775 Air cooler would be.
I was thinking of the Swiftech MCX775-V CPU Heatsink - Rev. 3. Swiftechs reputation is great, I own/have owned a number of other products from them which have been excellent. Benefit to using this is it is pre-lapped at the factory to levels that probably home lapping would not be able to obtain.
"Exceptional quality and attention to details: the heatsink base is lapped to 0.0003" (3/10 of 1/1000"), and polished to near-mirror finish to promote optimum thermal conductivity."
Pair up that heatsync with a high quality fan and I would think it could be great, but seeing what the community thinks. Have not seen any recent reviews comparing this heatsync to newer ones, but reviews from a year and a half back and beyond this HS always showed the swiftech beating out competition.
