Yeah, I prefer the retention bracket on my old opty by far. Don't some third party HSFs for Intel chips actually screw through the holes into a retention bracket on the bottom?

What are these push pins you are talking about? I don't remember anything like a push pin when I did mine.

The push pins which almost every LGA 775 heatsink uses:

Lucky you got that zalman, the push pins suck.

 

[dhgunit]

Oh, ok. Yeah I screw mine down.

tuniq tower ftw. i wonder what after market coolers we will see once these new chips release.

 

[zmatt]

The Xigmateks are better than the Tuniq tower, There is also a new sunbeam that is better than those.

 

[ricanflow]

Yeah i want one of those, im sure theyre more quiet than this 92mm AF64.

The Core Contact Cooler or the Xigmatek rifle?

the tuniq tower is teh second best cooler on the market behind the thermalright 120 ultra. they both cool the same, the tuniq is just bigger. so no the tuniq tower is better then the ximagtec cooler from what i know, they are budget coolers, and a tuniq tower with tx2 is not.

This is not a budget cooler:
