i got p5b duluxe and e6400 stock hsf.. i need a oC Heatsink!

[dt]

well as the title says i have a p5b duluxe and a e6400. i need the top 5 best heat sinks i can get for my money. i need the best of the best!

What aspects of the stock hsf do you find lacking?

 

[dt]

the basics.

The fan doesnt help me when overclocking.
Getting 3.2ghz on stock hsf is hot! ( 48C - 58C )

i would like to get the best hsf or cooling i can get for my money

Depends on your budget, the best coolers are phase change systems, but those can cost over $1000.

These are the top air coolers, there all around $50-$60.

Tuniq Tower 120
Scythe Infinity
Thermaltake Big Typhoon
Noctua NH-U12
Thermalright Ultra 120

Try coolermaster Hyper Tx, if you want a review, go to www.bigbruin.com

The Tunic Tower is great for the money.

Also check your voltages and make sure they are not higher than necessary. I know my MB on auto pushed them higher than necessary and forcing them back down to std or near std levels reduced my temps by almost 10c.

i see the Tuniq Tower 120 but its sold out everywhere.

on newegg people are replying saying that the hsf gives problems on mobos because you have to modify it ( something i really dont want to do).

it says its compatible with my socket but i dont know if it is compatible with my actual motherboard ( asus p5b duluxe wifi)

For air thats fine (if thats TAT or coretemp) the goal is to keep 2x prime95 <= 60C

Well, any of the others referenced should be perfrectly fine.
They may not cool quite as well, but at 3.2ghz, you are still not trying to reach extremes.

As others stated, you are still in an OK range, though I understand wanting to bring down the temps some.

If you can cut back CPU voltage even a small amt, you should be in a very comfortable range.

All the others ones listed in this thread are great too and more than you need. The artic7 pro could work too and is in the $30 range. This would also work since the speeds you are trying to reach are not extreme.

nah it goes to 64 with 2x prime.

 

[dt]

i am at 3.3ghz now with the e6400.

i am trying for the extreme!! 4.0 ghz if possible..

If you have the coin go with
http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.asp?Item=N82E16835702002

It whoops the simalarly priced low end water cooling kits. (believe me i had one)

Yeah it's compatible, RobX2 has the Tuniq Tower-120 on his P5B Deluxe, I've seen pictures of it.

4.0 GHz is nearly impossible to do (stable) on air... I wish you luck.
