Before I joined the Army, I had watercooled my parents computer because I liked to play games on it and experiment with overclocking. The computer has a Core i7 950, socket LGA 1366.
I didn't want to leave it watercooled, since I didn't think that my parents wanted to constantly have to maintain it so that it didn't leak. So, I took the watercooling off, put on the stock Intel cpu cooler, and returned the cpu clocks back to stock speeds and voltage.
I knew that the stock cooler SUCKED, but I didn't realize how bad it sucked. At stock speed and stock voltage, the CPU maxes out at ~ 100 C.
I would like some opinions as to what kind of aftermarket cooler that I could put on that would cool the CPU better. I would prefer one that already came with a fan on it as well.
Remember, this is not for my PC, this is for my parents PC.
