Need suggestion on small PGA 775 Heatsink

    Need suggestion on small PGA 775 Heatsink

    Currently, I have two desktop computers. My primary computer is very quiet (a Phenom II x4 940 rig with a HAF 932 case), but in comparison, my secondary computer (a Pentium Dual Core E2160 rig using a SFF case) is making a lot of noise. After some work, I found out it is the intel stock heatsink that is making the noise. I am looking for a quiet heatsink as a replacement, but due to the size of the case, I can only use something that is around the same size as the stock heatsink. So, I am wondering if anyone has any suggestion on which heatsink I should buy.

    Thanks in advance.

    (Note: I am not overclocking my 2nd computer)

    Definitely check dimensions. I have a Dell 530s (slimline). I can't get a heatsink to fit that is over about 120mm total. Aren't there small versions of the Orbs?
