Which HSF for my E6420 overclocking?
I'm not having much luck with my new C2D E6420 with regards stable and cool (well, less than 60 DegC!) overclocking...
Too many people have blamed the stock Intel cooler, so I suppose I'd better dip into my bank account once again...
Question is, which cooler?
I have 3 contenders...
1. Hexus winner, Thermaltake Big Typ VX (CL-P0310)
2. the bargain Arctic cooling Freezer 7 Pro
3. Tuniq Tower 120 (my brother swares by it!)
My main concern is the noise generated from the fans, followed closely by temperatures (efficient cooling). I really dont want hassle fitting it either, a simple to fit cooler would do me proud.
My mind is almost made up on the Thermaltake Big Typ VX, my main concern (as with any cooler that big) is the weight...
Is this thing going to be too heavy for my vertical case? I dont want to lie it on the side for the sake of a heavy cooler. They are all heavier than Intels recommendations anyway I think?
Last is the fitment on my board, is it going to "foul" any resistors or anything? Its huge, I dont want to bodge fit it?
Thx
