PC Fan/Heat Dissipation Issues

[Greatguardian]

Haha, I do love the case fan case. And I do have a pair of side-mounted fans directly above the CPU, which is pretty nice. Is there any particular brand/model I should be looking for when I get the cash to upgrade my heat sink? I really don't want to spend over $100, and if I can find a good one for $50-60 I'd be extremely happy.

Unless the technology changed, try and find one that's mostly/all copper as it'll conduct heat better. Also, look for one with a ball bearing fan (as opposed to sleeve) so it'll last longer.
