Hello can anyone refer me to the best heatsink you can buy for a AM2/AM2+, i currently have the ZALMAN 9500 nickel plated version and my temperature on my 9500 idles at 50C and loads at 60C+.
I currently modded it with a 110CFM 92mm fan just to keep it below 50C but the noise drives me nuts, i know this processor can take 60C but im not too comfortable with it.
I have a Thermaltake DH-101 case so my restriction is a max height of 125mm on the heatsink.
Thanks in advance :wahoo:

A very late reply:

I am also looking for a heatsink for a dh-101.

How did you come up with 125mm - the website states 100mm max.

I havent got a mainboard yet, so I cant check it myself.

If it is 125mm, I will go for the Noctua NH C12-P, If 100 is definite max, then probably a Big Shuriken 2.

If you are still haunting Toms (I guess not though, because nobody replies to your posts:)), please let me know if 125mm is indeed correct.

Thanks
