Pros: Cheap; great temps
Cons: The HDT makes applying TIM a little bit of a pain
I bought this heat sink for $25 when it was on sale at CompUSA. At first I wasn't too impressed with the temps, but then I looked up a guide on how to properly apply TIM to a HDT cooler. I'm using this on my SB build and I'm able to get to 4.5GHz with a load temperature of 68C. That's pretty amazing for a cheap CPU heatsink. If you need a cheap heatsink to hold you over until you decide to go with watercooling, this is the heatsink for you.
