Ok well I know yet another "what heatsink should i use" thread... sorry lol :)

Situation is I had a True 120 on a 775(q9450) and well that system died... So i built an amd rig to tide me over... However i had my True on a shelf with other components and all and while the gf was cleaning she droped it and well 3 of the heatpipes on the left sside cracked... So im now looking for a new heatsink, the thing is I have since moved overseas(finland) and pricing is quite different here as well as product availaability is much scarcer unless your ready to pay extravagant shipping fees(see 25-35 usd)to order from other countries and all.

So new system(relevant info)
P2 955 (13*250 so 3260 mhz)
ASUS M4A87TD EVO
2x 6850(Gigabyte)
2x2gb gskill
Case CM HAF 912+
Case fans
CM 200mmx2(front intake, top exhaust) 110cfm/700 rpm
back 120mm CM 45cfm
side intake 120mm Sanyo denki(109R1212H1011) 102 cfm 39db(somewhat loud..)

Ambient temperature 24-27C(yes i know its real hot however gf isnt ready to go down any... :mad:)

Currently im using the stock amd heatsink(4 heatpipe model) with as5
After 3 reseats best i got was:

Idles 43.5-45C on all four cores Cpu shows as 43-44C (spu fan 2.8kishh)
Load 58-60C all 4 cores Cpu 57-59C.(cpu fan 4-4.2kishh)

Now my goal is 3.8 Now with all of that said id like to keep it cheap enough.

Some of my options are

CM 212+ 30€(locally)
H50 70€
H70 95€
A70 57€
A50 46€

Thats the best online shop i have found, considering prices/shipping(open to other as well...)

The heatsink does not need to come with fans as i do have 120mm fans available(same Sanyo denkis as listed above) However having quieter fans is a +.

thanks
