Best s939 heatsink for ~$20?

[auveeb]

Hey,

I just started OCing my 3700+ and I'd like to keep it nice and cool. I've got 3 case fans running atm but I don't think stock cooling is efficient. What fan/heatsink would you reccomend from NewEgg for about ~$20? I'm willing to spend up to $25.

Thanks!

The XP-90 is about 30 dollars WITHOUT a fan...which will cost another 10 dollars.

If you can't afford to pay more than that, you might as well go with the stock HSF.

From the same supplier, it's $32 retail and comes with a fan.

How does a $4 increase equal a $10 fan ??? New Math maybe?

Scythe Katana CPU Cooler 92mm Cooling Fan/Heatsink for both AMD and Intel!! It is better than your average stock heatsink and costs you $29.99.

Best of all, it works on most sockets.

Check the reviews in the Heatsink Reviews Sticky (posted by "lifeguard1999")

And it's the same price at Jab-Tech but w/o giving Cali's Governator his 8%

But the XP-90 performs much better for an OCer....So there!! As per reviews.

This is one of a few truly high performance units in your pricerange-

It's being replaced, phased out for newer models, therefore the reduced price...

Wow, I'm really digging this heatsink/fan. I might just go with it!

Heatsink/Fan = HSF right?

 

[Howard]

Yes, by all means, go with this linked HSF For $25 you get a 720g HS with a noisy 80mm fan. But for $32 you could get a 220g HSF that cools much better with a 92mm fan and it has four heat pipes=XP-90 Retail.
The FCS-50 is a butt-ugly HS

I do agree, the XP-90 is still one of the best HSF's out there, but again it is slightly out of your price range. The Zalman is great also. Both overclock very well.

Might possibly check the trading forums? I saw a guy selling an XP-90 with a Panaflo 92mm for $25 shipped.
