Best CPU cooler for Intel LGA775?
I recently built a new system with a 3.0 GHz Intel LGA775 processor. I'm
using the stock Intel heatsink/fan right now, but would like to upgrade to a 3rd party solution that offers better cooling. Doesn't need to be silent, but I would rather it not be excessively loud. One that looks sort of okay is a plus, as I have a windowed case. I'll spend up to $50 - $60 US. I was checking out this Gigabyte cooler: http://www.newegg.com/app/ViewProduc...ion=35-128-003. Any feedback or other suggestions for quality cooling that's LGA775 compatible? |

Thermalright and Thermaltake have excellent ones, also Coolermaster. Check them at Newegg. |

My machine's idling in the mid to high 40's, and can get up into the 60's under load. It also seems like the computer occasionally starts to behave erratically when it's been up and running for too long, and I'm thinking that may be temperature-related. |
