heatsink suggestions

[adam_castell]

Hi,

just about to do my build, but i need some suggestions on cooling, components im using are below. i am really struggling to decide. i dont want to do a custom water cooled system, i dont want to blow the bank either, £80 is my budget.

i only want to play around with over clocking, i will not be doing anything extreme, but the system will run cooler and quieter with overkill cpu cooling, so i feel it is worth splashing out anyway.


i like the idea of H50 or H70, not sure what is best, and i see i have limited my coice of air coolers with the corsair dominator ram.

so what do you guys think?

love the H50, have it on my main pc and just installed it in an htpc - coupled with an apache black fan it's so damn quiet!

what is the standard corsair fan like?

and the H70 looks a little nicer, pump is nice and compact, looks higher quality, and has rotaing fixings on the pipe work, comes with two fans as standard, i can imagine i will end up buying another fan for the H50, so might be worth going straight for the H70
