i was wandering are cheap CPU coolers effective such as this one http://www.pccasegear.com/prod1110.htm in keeping temps down? or do only the more expensive ones work the best
I priced up that cooler and it would come to about $68. The swittech heatsink and excellent SilenX Fan combo are great for cooling and are rated to compete with a thermalritgh unit. This may be out of your pricerange....but the postage is quite a lot - its made out of copper and weighs 700g!
