I'm trying to find the best heatsink to use in my case. Not with fans included, because I'll probably swap them anyways. But just which heatsink itself will cool best. About a year ago, I had a Cooler Master V8 which cooled my AMD 955 BE very nicely. Then, I switched over to a new case (Corsair 600T) and the temperatures went up a bit. Which was odd, as the 600T had more fans and less cables in the way. Eventually, I switched over to an Intel build. After doing so, the temperatures went up even MORE. (Maybe an i5 2500 at stock is warmer and a stock 955 BE?)
After that I decided to give water cooling a try, and have been using an H100 for some time now. The H100 was a few degrees warmer than the Cooler Master V8.
So, my question to you, is which heat sink should I buy? I know the 212 plus is one of the most praised. But is there one that will cool drastically better?
Also, if I do decide on getting one, would it be recommended to get a second fan for push/pull?
Here's is my current build, it's in a 550D. I never hear the fans, but the H100 tick gets annoying.
Right now I have two 120mm top exhaust under the radiator, one 120mm rear exhaust. Two 120mm intakes in the front. And you can't see it, but one bottom mounted 120mm on the side panel for exhaust for the GPU's and one top 120mm for intake on the CPU/motherboard VRM area.
So, here's a picture. I'll be anticipating response. :]
