Hi all, just wondering what ur takes on this cooler is since Mike and co didn't do a review on this particular model. I'm looking decent performance and good accoustics.
I'm considering this heatsink for my 939 board, ASUS A8V-E SE, on an overclocked Winchester. If anyone doesn't think its a good heatsink, what suggestions do you have? I prefer top down coolers, and something not too expensive, and I'm in Canada too so my choices are more limited than say, in the US.
Sidenote: completely unrelated, but since I'm posting. I'm on the stock sink right now and doing 45C on load, would lowering the temp help overclocking when its not even getting that hot to start with?

The Shuriken is a good low-profile heat sink. But unless you need something low-profile, there are many much better choices out there. It works great in my HTPC with an undervolted 4050e where I need something low-profile. I don't think it would be able to be quiet and cool a hot, overclocked CPU. The mini-ninja is only $5 more at newegg in the US. Not sure about for you.
