id just get a stock 65nm quad core heatsink
thoughts on the Swiftech MCX775-V CPU Cooling Heatsink???
Does anyone have any experience with this CPU heatsink???

I was thinking about using this on an E8400 in a mini-itx gaming build with a 40CFM fan and I have been reading that this heatsink is actually really good at cooling. The newer version of this has screws and not puch-pins btw...

Well, it performs well as a low profile heatsink with an 80mm fan on it

Those reviews are old and the temps aren't uber amazing but for a heatsink that is the size of the stock intel heatsink, you gotta admit that it could be good for OC'ing a dual core for a mini-ITX HTPC.

All from 2004-2006 though. Some good budget/low-profile coolers have come out since then.
