I just bought a new boxed cpu, 2.4ghz, my last one was a barebones 1.7 so I had bought a seperate heatsink/fan unit, this Cooler Master one http://www.newegg.com/app/ViewProdu...-103-128&catalog=62&manufactory=BROWSE&depa=0

I was wonderin if anyone had any advice weather to use the Cooler Master one I have, or the stock Intel one that came with the cpu, I could use grease on the cooler master one where as the intel one has that little heat pad, the fan on the cooler master one is also bigger. Any advice on this would be greatly appreciated.
 
I highly doubt the CM heatsink will be better than the stock heatsink. If you wan a good overclocking heatsink, go with either Zalman or Thermalright.
 
Thanks for the reply, ill just go with the stock unit, if anything I could just swap it out later anyways. Thanks again.
 
That's a replacement P4 heatsink and at best equal to Intel stock fan.

If you don't plan to spend $20+, I would keep the stock fan.
