    CPU HeatSink + Fan

    My stock HSF is quite loud and not all that cool.


    I am going to buy a new one.. anything within $50

    i am thinking about this:
    http://www.newegg.com/app/ViewProduc...118-115&depa=0

    but then i saw this:
    http://www.newegg.com/app/viewProduc...118-114&depa=0

    I don't know which one is better. Which one should i get?

    Also my mother board is on the list of 'Compatible when Zalman Northbridge is installed'

    I have an Abit AS8
    here is the list for the first HSF:
    http://www.zalman.co.kr/product/cool...MBlist_eng.htm

    The list is the same for the other HSF.. The only difference i can see between them is that one is pure coper(First one) and the other one is Coper and Aluminum(2nd One)...

    Here are the links from the home page of Zalman.. maybe that will give you something to compare them..
    i am not very intelligent and i wouldn't understand what all the stuff are but maybe on someone smart here would tell me which one to get
    http://www.zalman.co.kr/eng/product/...x=146&code=009
    http://www.zalman.co.kr/eng/product/...45&code=005009
    Also What is the northbridge they are talkin about.. Could any of you find me a link? Thanks..

    BTW can overheating of the CPU cause a performance lose?
