looking for a new heatsink for my e8200
i don't want to pay too much and anything <£15 would be great
at the mo, i have just the retail heat sink on
oh and btw, what else would i need to install it like thermal paste etc
im new to changing the heatsink

Something like this would be ok. Comes with thermal paste pre applied. Just make sure you clean off your old paste!

I just use some of the gf's nail polish remover and decent quality cotton pads. Works a right treat!

+1

and as he says, just some nail varnish remover and a cotton bud.!

 

[!TIMMY!]

Some isporal alcohol (if thats how you spell it) for the win. I had some in a CD lens cleaning kit. Works a treat with some cotton buds.

I got a Freezer 7 Pro today brand new for £12.49, I would go for one of them if I was you.
