Help with Intel CPU cooler + Rant
I need a good CPU heatsink available in the UK for an Intel Dual core 2 E8400
Any recomendations? Also i havent built a system for about 4 years but im seriously not liking the new way Intel heatsinks have the weird plastic pushpin style fixings to the mobo. i have sadly broken a small piece of retaining plastic on said heatsink and hence why i need to get a new one. |

Most aftermaket CPU heatsinks use the same push pin set-up but you can find ones that use screws and mounting plates.
Zalman CNPS9500 AT is one example and a quality unit.

tuniq tower 120 uses screws.... but the thing is a beast and unless you are using the am2 clip which you arent you have to remove the motherboard... the 775 adapter has a back plate then you screw it into the top....
