Hello, This passed january I built an I7 920 computer. I've now realized that every so often the processor gets too hot and the warning beeper goes off. I've read alot of reviews saying the stock heat sink that comes with it doesn't work the greatest. I'd like to invest in a new one. The only problem I am having is I am not sure what the difference between a CPU cooler and CPU heatsink is, if there is one, and how to know what would be a decent one for my computer. Any tips, hints, suggestions, articles to read to get a better understanding would be awesome. Thanks for any help. I am hoping to keep the price around 60 or less.
