CPU Fan/Heatsink

[Noniy]

I was looking for top of the line CPu fan/Heatsink , the best i can get.
My budget is about $60,

I Need it to be socket 1366 to be compatible with an i7 CPU.

I found one, but not sure if its the "best" for a $60 budget.
Newegg.com - Vigor Monsoon III LT Dual 120mm Fan CPU Cooler Socket 1366 Ready - CPU Fans & Heatsinks

tell me what you think on this CPU, and if you have any recommendations.

Also a few days ago someone recommended me to get Newegg.com - Sunbeam CR-CCTF 120 mm Core-Contact Freezer CPU Cooler W/TX-2 - CPU Fans & Heatsinks and Newegg.com - Sunbeam CR-LGA1366 LGA 1366 Core I7 Retention Bracket - CPU Fans & Heatsinks.


Well please put some input, and tell me what you think i should get, that's best for a budget of $60.



Thanks, your input is much appreciated.

Best Regards,
Noniy.

Thermalright Ultra-120 Extreme Heatpipe CPU Cooler

Petra's Tech Shop

will need a mounting bracket as well.

Out of stock at the moment. You wiould only need this for some serious overclocking on air.

I have never used a mounting bracket.

Is it easy to install?

 

[Hefemeister]

Pretty easy to install. Most of the big ones have a bracket of some sort that mounts on the backside of your motherboard.

The TRUE I showed you needs a fan as well.

The sunbeam you chose in your op is very good as well.

I see, i found one of the same where it comes with fan, heat sink, and bracket in one purchase.


is this good?

Thermalright Ultra-120 eXtreme 775 RT CPU Heatsink - (Socket LGA 775 / LGA 1366* / Xeon* / AM2*) - FrozenCPU.com

 

[Hefemeister]

Not bad. It is twice as much as the sunbeam but if you plan to overclock it is a better heatsink.

You would be happy with either.

 

[Noniy]

yes, i am planning to overclock anyways, not heavy overclocking, just a little.

so ill go with Thermalright Ultra-120 eXtreme 775 RT CPU Heatsink - (Socket LGA 775 / LGA 1366* / Xeon* / AM2*) - FrozenCPU.com.


Thanks for all your help.
I really appreciate.

Best Regards,

How much is exactly a "little OC" to you?

Because some of these coolers are pretty excessive for a "little OC"

 

[Noniy]

I am going to be overclocking from 2.66Ghz to 3.0 or maybe at most 3.2.

But I'm keeping the one i chose, its a very good one, plus i never do water cooling, so that why i want high end air cooling.

 

[Hefemeister]

As I stated earlier it is for serious overclocking and overkill for the OC you have planned.

With that said I did fulfill your request for the best around $60. Enjoy and make sure your case has enough room for it before you order.
