Hi,
I am looking for a decent heatsink w/ fan for an i5-2300 since it will be in a fairly small case.
Here are the other components that will be in the case and may possibly restrict the size or get in the way of the heatsink:
- Antec nsk3480 [(L x W x H) 14.00" x 7.75" x 13.75"]
- Asus ASUS P8H67-M LX (REV 3.0)
- Gskill eco 2x2gb- Sapphire 5670
- WD Green 1tb
- intel 320 80gb ssd
Priorities:
- QUIET
- Cool
- No overclocking (not even sure it's possible on the non-k version anyway)
- No water cooling solutions
I am looking to buy in the next day or so.
I figure I could get something fairly decent for $50, maybe less?
Thanks in advance for any recommendations.
Edit: And is arctic silver 5 still the recommended thermal paste?
