Simple question: What is the absolute best Socket 939 HSF available? I'm reaching the limits with my stock sink and very compact chassis. AMD Opteron 185 @ 3.0GHz 4.0GB of OCZ DDR400 RAM GeForce 8800GTS 640MB at 625/2000 core/mem, 1500 shader Asus A8N32-SLI Deluxe Completely owns the Super P3

I just answered a similar question in the hardware forum. It was about AM2 CPUs but many of the HSFs fit different socket types. http://www.computing.net/hardware/w...

One of the very best rated HSF combos out there is the "alpha" I drool and slobber over this heatsink as I myself can not afford it at a price of around $55.00 USD http://www.frostytech.com/articlevi... It is one of the best. Core2 Duo 1.86 1GB DDR2 667 Nvidia 8500GT Asus P5L-MX

Thanks! All of those heatsinks look quite a bit better than my crappy stock sink. They should all do a lot better than the 72°C that my current HSF is managing, right? Even though I've got one of those small, not-very-well-ventilated Silverstone amplifier look-alikes?
