Looking for a good heatsink. I'm running a 2200 xp and have heat issues. all copper or copper core. the proccessor is not overclocked. perhaps something like this: http://www.newegg.com/app/viewProductDe ... 103&depa=0
also, i'm looking to buy a little thermal gel to use.

Before you buy a new heat sink why dont you lap and reset the one you have.
I recomend the silent boost, its a great value and with a little bit of lapping it runs as well as a 900a (with out treatment), with the same fan. http://www.newegg.com/app/ViewProductDesc.asp?description=35-106-037&depa=0

I have a couple different copper core / solid copper heatsinks that I am not using. You can try one out to see if a better heat sink is what you need. PM me

Call me stupid...but what does it mean to lap and reset a heatsink? Never heard that before. Just curious.
