Default Replacement Heatsink and fan - 04-30-2012, 13:56 | posts: 34

Hi guys ,

I'm wanting to replace the heatsink and fan on my I5 2500k (socket LGA1155) which sits in a ASUS P8 Z68-V/GEN 3 motherboard. Could anybody suggest a heatsink/fan combo for my system please?

I'm not wanting to spend silly money (£) so lets keep it nice and low.

Cheers

Hyper 212 Plus i believe is cheaper and has almost identical performance.
