Should i change my cpu heatsink?

Thanks, i dont know, spend 600 this wekk on upgrades, if i have any express trouble with this thing when i get it, ill look into this crossplate.

my 9700 that was on my q6600 at one point did not handle any overclocking very well at all get yourself a xigmatek 1283 or a ven 2 are good. and the price is right for both
HDT pipes work very close to water cooling as long as your not upping the V's a lot.

get the crossbow plate it's worth it these cooling towers are way heaver then the socket was designed to handle ( afaik right from intel specs )

I didnt buy that crossbow plate, i probably shouldve, installing that vendetta 2 was an ordeal. Did get a 10 degree drop on my cpu though. not even using artic silver 5, saving the last bit i have for when my cpu arrieves in a few days.

nice temp drop. yes they are a pain to put on. there are good install guide for the push pin setup at toms. but the push pins are kinda flaky.

Ive had the 7700 for so long that ive gotten used to the loud fan as if it were ambient noise, not it seems like something is wrong with my pc cause i cant hear my cpu fan lol.
