Is this a heatsink and fan?

Just so you know, I had that heatsinc, loud as hell

Personally, I buy from www.newegg.com , great tech support, great warantys, and pretty good pricing

Speeze makes some good stuff, I use that now, I dropped my processor temp 10 degrees celcius going from the one you linked to and the one I have now, and it was only 15 bucks with the fan

I fn give up. Go ahead confuse the shit out of the n00bs. When they ask simple basic computer questions, respond with geek speak & talk about high performance & oc'ing.

@zapjb don't dispair, don't give up. Your posts were right on track.

Sometimes when (us) noobs are talking about going for a walk, some ppl think it's time to organize a marathon. Bad analogy. But you obviously got the point and were just trying to make it.

Peace

I don't see anything so difficult for the noob to understand, he asked for a suggestion regarding the heatsink and I suggested a heatsink/fan that goes by the name of Cyclone, made by the company Antec, what's so hard for him to understand there? If it's regarding the term "Overclocking", all he has to do is ignore that part, point is, asked about a heatsink gave a reply and referred a GOOD one that'll serve his purpose well.
