Need help deciding on an Heatsink
So i dont know anything about heatsinks and fans. After reading a bit on the forum i was thinking of getting the dark knight but i think its too big since i have OCz reapers with This Mobo. the ram is already right next to the stock AMD Heat sink.
__________________I was thinking of getting this as its kinda like the dark knight but smaller. also i dont have a top blow hole so i didnt want to get a HS that had to be facing up or down. Taking any and all recomendations. i also have the coolermaster centurion 5 case

Believe it or not, but they're the same size. But the s1283V is a better performer due to the superior fan that it comes with. I think there's another reason why it's better, but I can't really remember.

I would get the Scythe Mugen II, same price as the Xigmatek, but it can blow out the back of your case, and it cools better.

Either way, you can mount it in the direction that suits you best (Which is good for Reference AM# & Non reference AM# users alike. )

 The fans are usually meant to be attached on the broad side, and so is the airflow. Go with the ridges, if it is the other way airflow is not as smooth.
