Good store, I made a purchase a few years ago, you buy without fear.I had both the 2 coolers and this one in version B, only with something like this you will achieve what you want, otherwise you will go for water cooling which I do not recommend because the money will be more
Okay, thanks! I forgot about this store lol, and thanks for finally bringing it back. And that Thermalright HR-02 Macho Rev.C cooler is good for overclocking my Q9550? And with this cooler will I able to achieve maybe 4 GHz? (My max will probably be like 3.8 GHz but it is a question of experimenting)

Yes and there is a ''make offer'' (for the price) but ask the question about the kit
Maybe I have the kit, because I gave the cooler for AM4
Oh okay, I asked the seller (Computer Store Berlin) if they have the mounting kit. I am waiting for an answer, if they don't then is there any alternative cooler other than water cooling?

I hope they have the kit, if no, then that is really sad.... because I thought of getting a Xeon E5450 to pair with this cooler so I can overclock it well...

I only found the fan, the mount, I shouldn't have it.In the 5450 I had it at 3.6 with automatic in the memories without interrupting currents, from there and everywhere it wanted to interrupt

Tell me about the height, I'm asking you
Oh, no need to worry. I got informed that the cooler (THERMALRIGHT HR-02 Macho Rev.B) has the mounting kit for LGA775! So I will probably get the cooler for a few weeks maybe

And my height between the cpu and the case is around 160 mm, and my Case is the DELUX ATX Mid-Tower BMW style, colour: black.

Thermalright Macho Direct new

You can click to see if they send it and what the shipping costs are
I will be getting the THERMALRIGHT HR-02 Macho Rev.B, since it is around 230W TDP which is enough, and, if this is smart, a Xeon X5470, which I will use to overclock like crazy since the multiplier is x10, if you think this is good to take, feel free to say and criticise I wanna buy what is best for me for price/performance

Actually I thought about it, and I have decided to take the Xeon X5460, and the cooler; if you have any other suggestions feel free to say because I will be buying this before Christmas (around December whilst I finish up with exams and more)

what is low goes up and what is high does not go down

I recently bought a 5700x while the price was the same as a 5800x, I chose it because it's simply better and smaller TDP
