Looking to line out a dual hexie (Istanbul)

[Smartidiot89]

Actually, I've been having trouble finding "good" heatsinks for Socket F. Most stuff produced seems to be geared toward servers (non-overclocking, loud). I found one that seems like it's meant for people like us, but it's pretty expensive. I suppose there's some irony there considering a $65 heatsink expensive when we're talking about a $1400+ project at this point.

You said overclocking, so that is a quite steady heatsink for your purpose... But it shouldn't be that hard to mod on a cheaper cooler?

Also are you certain that board has overclocking capabilities? I know loads of those dual-socket boards does atleast on the Intel side...

The CPU only has a x11 multiplier so that meens you need to clock HTT quite high... Would be good with the 2431 model for an extra multi but that does increase price alot, but we don't know how well Istanbul actually can clock so perhaps it's worth those extra $400 if you can afford it?

Can't wait for your build man gonna be so awesome haha
