Good heatsink for overclocking cpu on Striker II NSE

[jcpwn3r]

First off, sorry about posting such a vague post, but there are hundreds off coolers out there and i have no idea where to turn other than to ask a specific question so here it is

For Christmas i am going to be getting either an cooler master HAF-922 or HAF-932 to replace my old M5 and along with that i am going to get a new CPU heat sink so I can overclock my e8400 and keep it nice and frosty.


I was looking at the cooler master v8 for a while but in china it costs 70 bucks rather than 40 on newegg and that has sort of taken it out of contention.

does anyone have a recommendation? I am not going to overclock to insane levels, somwhere less than 4.0ghz, I want to keep the system stable.

I am looking for name brands like coolermaster, thermaltake, zalman etc... because over here they have either the high end stuff or the cheap knockoffs.



also, should I consider water cooling? my motherboard came with all the required plumbing

You can use the embedded search engine to find additional information about socket specific heatsinks.

thanks, the link helped a whole lot, found a bunch better heatsinks that cost a fraction of the prices
