Lightbulb best CPU heatsink for Sig Rig

Well, I've looked for CPU heatsinks for my Sig rig and haven't found much. So, I want to know what you guys think. It's going to have to fit in the Lian Li PC-65B, which is a ATX Mid-Size case. I really don't think the TRUE or the Optimus Prime heatsinks will work, but I don't have the case to test, heh.

Suggest away!

Oh they'll fit. (The TRUE and Megatron) The case is definitely wide enough.

Mugen 2 is a fabulous cooler for you if you're on a budget.
If you can afford a Megahalems then by all means get it. (With a good fan like an S-Flex)

The TRUE usually does not extend past the edge of the MB when set in the front to rear config. I found it fits in every system I own... Crosshair, DFI p35, DFI x38, Biostar TA770.
It can be a tight fit if the PS is very close to the edge of the MB, but it only required installing the clips prior to installing the TRUE.

By the looks of the pics of your case @ newegg, I'd bet a TRUE or most similar HSs will fit.

The TRUE should fit regardless of the PSU

He's on an AMD system, so it blows up, not sideways

The Scythe Mugen 2 looks like it could be lapped easily, which is a plus. I'm planning on mirror coating the processor and the CPU Heatsink for the best heat conductivity. I also found this on newegg and i raised an eyebrow. Looks like it could be in for the running.

The Mugen 2 is quite large though. If you can afford a TRUE or Megahalems, you should really go for those instead.

The Asus Royal Knight isn't in the same league as the Mugen 2/TRUE/Meghalems

Eh, it's just a thought. I looked at it because of the good reviews (which is one of my buying points, if it has over 75% five starts, I look at it). other than that, I can't find the TRUE or the Megatron on newegg.
