I know almost nothing about building a computer

looks pretty good but is there anyone that is below or around $20 ?

 

[overlord20]

there probably is but im unsure about the quality you might get.

 

[jester070993]

oh ok then would the stock cooler be ok for just overclocking a little?

 

[1337_JohnN]

The Xigmatek S-1283 is $22 after MIR.

 

[overlord20]

unsure.. haven't oc'ed without an aftermarket cooler.. don't know what they can handle particularly. i would test it but im afraid to fry my system.. i cried when my comp crashed over summer lol

 

[jester070993]

haha ohh ok

is the The Xigmatek S-1283 any good?

 

[1337_JohnN]

It's very good, and you're pretty much guranteed 3.5GHz with a descent CPU

 

[jester070993]

nice, but is it one of those push pins coolers or the bolt though ones? and where does is go over the cpu because in the picture I can't really figure out?

 

[Spit-wad]

It comes with push-pins, which are crap. You can buy the retention bracket to screw it in for like an extra 4 dollars or something... definitely worth it. If you can't find it on newegg, let us know and we'll try to find the link for the bracket.

i thought the xigmatek rifle was a pain to install on my first build... got through it, but took some time.

^^^ Shoulda got the bracket. =.=

The S-1284 came out, though ;D
