Heatsink for Icore 5

[jhodach]

Need something to cool my upcoming Core i5 purchase. Looking for something relatively cheap (40 or less), easy enough to install and quiet. Not looking for dead silence but want it quiet. Won't overclock TOO much but might do a small bump. I can't really find anything out there for this chipset yet? Any help?

This fits the bill.

And BTW, its a Core i5. Not sure what a "Icore 5" is, lol.

lol thanks for that. I was in a rush and made a mistake. That was the one heatsink I could find but all I read was how much of a pain it was to install. Any thoughts?

Not hard at all. The included instruction might be a bit convoluted. But if anyone has any common sense, it's easy to see what part goes where and how it's put together.

I run 2 boxes with the Hyper 212, its a great heatsink, worth every penny.

Agreed, the instructions on paper aren't so clear but it's not too difficult to figure out. Pull the screws/spring up to move them to the middle slot for 1156. Twist the studs as you thread them through the backplate because there is a flat spot on the screw thread to allow it to fit.

Yeah, short of the $70-80 heatsinks, it's hard to do better than the Hyper 212+ for $25 (was on sale at MicroCenter. $30 normally)
