Which heatsink should i use for my CPU?
Okay, my mugen 2 and my dark knight heatsinks both arrived today. I have 2 PC. my main PC that I
__________________use most the time has a Q6700. The other PC that I have has a E8600 CPU. I’m thinking what heatsink would be best for each CPU. I'm thinking Dark Knight for my Q6700 and mugen 2 for my E8600. What do you guys think? Thanks Michael

mugen 2 Q6700 - a push/pull would be a good idea
dark knight E8600 - I have a Xiggy on my E8400 and it does a wonderful job. Alternately, you could trial both HSA, note the temps and then swap them over and see which has the better temps. If your going to do a trial, dont use AS5 because it need a heap of time for burn in.

The Mugen 2 should perform a little better. I'd put it on your main PC.

the duo should run cooler, so I would try to use the DK on it. The 6700 will run much hotter, so maybe you could try taking the xiggy fan and put it on the mugen 2. I think the xiggy is 89 cfm, compared to the crap slipstream that the mugen comes with.
Oh, what are the respective cases?

So we are all agreed?
 mugen 2 = Q6700 dark knight = E8600

I support the Dark Knight suggestion; I use one on my OC'ed e8500 C0 @ 4.0 GHz and 1.3V, and it keeps it at 35C idle/55C load with AS5
