Do you mean a cpu heatsink and fan?

Here is a link to a recent Tom's Hardware article with useful information about 10 popular cpu heatsinks:

http://www.tomshardware.com/reviews/lga-1156-heatsink,2535.html

I know the article states Intel LGA 1156 heatsinks but just about all of them are also compatible with Intel LGA 1366 cpu's and LGA 775 cpu's.

Here is a link to a very good web site with more useful information about cpu heatsinks that will help you make an informed decision:

You can use the Google embedded search feature at the web site to find more information about heatsinks for specific cpu sockets.

i use the Xigmatek HDT s1283 (with the retention bracket that seats the heatsink much better than pins) and it has been nothing but good to me. There are others out there that are good as well, just telling you that mine has been great, keeping temps of my Q6600 pretty low @ 3.6GHz.

Well depending on your budget but 2 come to mind that are decent and you dont have to fork out alot for them

Cooler Master Hyper 212+

There are better ones but these two are tried and true great coolers for the money.

^ Freezer Pro 7 is old, don't even bother.

+1 for the S1283, CM Hyper 212, and Core Contact Freezer 120mm.
