A question

[Noxinc]

1. Newegg.ca - Intel Core 2 Duo E8500 Wolfdale 3.16GHz 6MB L2 Cache LGA 775 65W Dual-Core Processor - Processors - Desktops

With this CPU which I plan to overclock what would you recommend as the new heatsink since the one that comes with it is apparently trash. I'd prefer a link from Canadacomputers.com for the heatsink since I don't want to order it.

Another question, what do you recommend overclocking to

Newegg.ca - BIOSTAR TForce TP45HP LGA 775 Intel P45 ATX Intel Motherboard - Intel Motherboards

Newegg.ca - SIGMA SHARK SP-635 635W ATX12V V2.01 SLI Ready Power Supply - Power Supplies

= motherboard / Power Supply

~Thanks

Well that power supply sucks.. (bad brand)

and a good HSF is the Core Contact Freezer (but Newegg is the only place that has it)

You should get 4.0ghz (but don't whine later if you don't)

Get an E8400 if you haven't gotten the E8500. Save some money there is only a .5 multiplier difference.

Get this power supply instead Newegg.ca - CORSAIR CMPSU-650TX 650W ATX12V / EPS12V SLI Ready CrossFire Ready 80 PLUS Certified Active PFC Power Supply - Power Supplies. Single rail and a reputable company.
