hey im going out today to buy a cpu heatsink from canadacomputers  
because my cpu is running madly hot at idle 45c and maxium 50+c  
so i decided ill spend like alot of money getting one so price isnt a factor which fan looks like the best ? and does the socket really matter? beacause  
i have socket a and there are almost no socket a fans? why would the socket type matter?
