Does anyone have a recommendation to replace the stock cooler on a i7 860 that I can replace without pulling the MB? Nothing too huge, just reliable and quiet.
Also - what are the temps I should be targeting to keep things in the safe zone with this CPU? With the stock cooler (not OCed yet) I'm in the upper 20s at idle and shoot up to mid 70s under load. I should be able to keep it in the 50s at load with a good cooler right? (assuming good case flow).
Thanks!
