Thermalright Ultra120..Scythe Infinity, Sunbeam Suniq Tower..and if your looking for bang/buck the Arctic Cooling Freezer 7 Pro. Available between $25-35 US.
And its not really possible to say how many degrees the temperature will drop, everybody's system is different. I would look to improve case cooling if you haven't already.

http://www.petrastechshop.com/sututo120hec.html http://www.petrastechshop.com/scinhecpucos.html I have no other suggestions, these are some of the top performing heatsinks on the market for their price ranges. If I were in your position I would go for the Arctic Cooling Freezer. The Pushpins are a whole lot easier then the solutions on these other heatsinks, its also like half the price. |

Here are new dx9 and dx10 game trailer comparisons. I suggest he HD if you have a good internet connection.
Crysis Jungle normal: http://www.gametrailers.com/player.p...pe=mov&pl=game Crysis Jungle HD: http://www.gametrailers.com/player.p...pe=mov&pl=game Crysis Hunter normal: http://www.gametrailers.com/player.p...pe=mov&pl=game Crysis Hunter HD: http://www.gametrailers.com/player.p...pe=mov&pl=game To me it seems like something thats going to be important, but not going to make me buy vista for a while.

Yes..very much so, but thats for AMD cpu's, if you have a intel processor you need the Freezer 7 Pro version.
You can get it here real cheap: http://www.svc.com/acfzp7.html |
