    why isn't stock OK? are you overclocking? what clocks do you hope to achieve?

    @ 3 ghz oc and prime 95 its hiting over 80c( with stock voltages)

    If you wanted, put this on it and it should do the job, fairly easy to install as well, no more bloody fingers! :mad:. Although you might have to go for something a bit more expensive (although the first one keeps my i5 at 4.2 @60-65 on prime 95 blend) like this.

    ^^

    Thanks for the info very much appreciated, going go with the more expensive one, with a view to updating my system in the future.


    Btw do you know if it comes with thermal paste ?

    MX-4 compound (according to some reviews) comes pre-applied so you're all set!
