Ive built a budget system using this older format and im trying to find a half decent after market one that isnt going to cost the earth? and yes of course im overclocking lol:)

Im absolutely astounded by the choice out there and really dont want to buy a lemon.

Any help or pointing in the right direction greatly received.
 
Budget?
how big is the case too,
are you using high profile ram coolers, or just standard size ones?

big case.......not using any ram coolers.....just the ram as it is....

already got the cpu to 4ghz on standard cooler and it hits about 45 on full load running pie and converting dvds.

Nearly as cheap as the Gelid or whatever but uber quiet and a very good heatsink. Plus being Thermalright, it will last you several builds and there's always scope to simply get faster fans for even better performance should you need it in the future. No other cooler/heatsinks this side of £30 or even £50 has the cooling efficiency to match it.

thanks ill check it out
