Alright, so I've almost got every piece of my dual Xeon system in, now I just need heatsinks, I really want the Coolermaster E3W-NPTXC-01 heatpipe heatsinks more than anything, but I can't find anywhere that ships to Canada? I could settle on 603-v's but I heard they weren't the best cooling and they are quite expensive.
Sorry if it's in the wrong section, but I figured you guys would give the most help, thanks.
P.S Motherboard is PC-DL Deluxe.

The Swiftech Xeon heatsinks are excellent. They're expensive, yes, but no more so than the CM heatpipes. You also don't have the problem of attempting to attach a fan ;)

I'd figure I'd just ziptie it on. I read the coolermasters outperformed them by a large margin.

TBH I haven't seen ANY performance runs of Xeon heatsinks much anywhere - do you have any linkage Jerunk? I'd appreciate it :up:

CtechNet (http://www.ctechnet.com/hardware/Coolermaster/Cooler/coolermaster_e3w-nptxc-01.htm)
and some quotes from 2cpu.com
"Having used both the swiftech solution and the coolermaster -01's, I love the -01's. I get much lower temps using the same fans that I had on the swiftechs.
Not to mention that I'm in the process of creating a processor wind tunnel to use with the -01's that route the hot air out the heatsink fins and out the back of my case. Something like that wouldnt have been possible with the swiftechs.
CM -01's get my vote for best prestonia heatsink."
"In my experience the Swiftechs were worst than my IWTs fitted with quiet 60mm fans. They kinda like throw air all over the place while the IWTs has focused pressure on the fins and the CM's heatpipes are just too godd for anything else."

Thanks for the links, but sadly I have been to both of those sites, and orbit micro will not reply to any e-mails, I am unsure if they have them in stock and I am unsure if they ship to Canada.
Thanks Plum.

Thanks for the info Plum, the man knows his crunching :up:
Looks like I'll need to put these in a case to get the most out of the CM's . . .

I've tried phoning orbit micro, apparently my area code is blocked.
Every attempt I make at the Live Sales Chat it's always unavailable.
Plum, do you live in America or Canada?

The only problem is I'm not sure if they ship to Canada or not? If you go to their straight checkout it only has the option for U.S States and ZIP Codes, but if you go into their account signup you can signup from any country.. So I'm kind of confused.

I also went with the 603-v's with optional mounting brackets, some AS 5 and some AS Epoxy. Thanks guys.

I've never had a Swiftech product that sucked, they make good stuff in my experience - let us know how the 603's work out :banana:
