i am looking for what heatsink/fansink to get for an intel core 2 quad Q9550 processor, which will be replacing the cpu currently in my computer i can pretty much garuntee that any heatsink that would come with a q9550 would probably be to large:
my current fansink (its a heatsink with fan directly attached is: 58.51mm x 94.09mm x ~75 mm
(length x width x height) that 75 mm for height is the MAXIMUM height i can go to as any higher and i cant put the cover back on. that width is pretty much the maximum with MAYBE a 1 or 2 mm tolerance, the length i can let very more by probably 10 - 15 mm i think.
current build:
building a new pc isnt an option... unless somebody wants to send me the money for a new copy of win 7 
as the oem version of win7 (which is what i have) is locked to the motherboard. (getting the oem version saved me about 150 - 200 bucks though)
i already found a psu that says it can directly replace the psu that is proprietary to my machine (i checked the model numbers it says it can replace, matched mine exactly)
heatsink is also specific to my machine and probably the cpu as well, (and thus probably couldnt handle the increased heat the quad core would produce)
little tidbit of info: the q9550 uses about 30 watts more than whats in my machine at the moment (intel core 2 duo e6550)
