Which heatsink for ASUS A7N8X-X mobo?
I have a XP2500-M running at 2.2Ghz (1.6v) with an idol temp of around 40-44 celsius and 50-55 celsius under full load (my case is only between 14-19 degree's). To me that's a bit crap even with a load speed fan (I'm using a 2000RPM 80mm fan on my oldish 80mm Thermalright heatsink). My friend's XP2500-M running at 2.3Ghz (1.7v) is just under 55 at full load and his case is 35 celsius! (he's using the Akasa Carnival). So I've decided that I definitely need a new heatsink.
What I want is the best heatsink for cooling at a reasonable noise level. But which heatsink is best and which ones will fit in my ASUS A7N8X-X mobo and Jeantech Phong case? (the socket is quite close to the PSU).
