Hi all,
I have an E6600 processor (Socket 775) at the moment, and I am playing Starcraft II. Usually about twice a night I hear a loud beep from my computer while I'm gaming. I figure this is due to overheating of the processor. The game has only frozen once or twice, but I believe I should get a new heatsink to remedy this problem. The heatsink I currently have on there is the stock heatsink. I just need a heatsink that is going to make the beeping stop, and as I am not overclocked I don't think that should be hard to find a relatively inexpensive one. My budget is $50 and I have one other stipulation: I do not want to remove the motherboard to install the heatsink.
Can anyone please recommend a heatsink / fan that will meet my needs?
Thank you for your time!
