Might be worth thinking a bit about forward compatability… But I’d have thought a wanted ad on Overclockers or similiar could have good results, there’s a lot of outmoded top end stuff out there that the enthusiasts don’t want any more. It’s like singletrack only at least they actually use their computers 😉

Has been on my stupidly overclocked q6600 for a very long time, it was the bees knees when I got it but might have been surpassed… But that’s a hot processor and it runs quiet. I always planned to go to a water block, never did though, didn’t seem any point.
(it had gone louder recently, just opened the case up and it turned out the fan had fallen off entirely. Still did a good job of cooling with just the case airflow.)
