Hi, I just recently acquired an i7-870, and I am using the stock heatsink. During prime95, my cpu tops out at about 90c, and I think this is quite a bit too high, so I want a new cooler.
I'm not too concerned about noise, but I'd prefer if the cooler wasn't gargantuan sized. I am also on a budget of $45 or less. I don't really want to take my motherboard out, so something with the push pins is a plus.
I do not plan on overclocking, I just want something to keep it from going over 70/75c in prime95.
Thanks for helping!!
