Where to buy OEM Q6000 Heatsink

[dezertrat]

I just ordered a E7200 for a budget build and want to put a OEM q6600 HSF on it. Any good places to get one besides ebay?

(i dont have 50 posts so no FS/FT yet )

why do you want to put a oem q6600 heatsink on it? Just get a nice aftermarket one.

Cheapness
e series (45 nm) hsf vs q series(65nm)

EDIT: plus i dont know if a xigmatek or the like will fit on this board http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16813128077

not the board [mostly] that determines your HSF, it's your case, memory height and distance, fans in immediate surroundings.

As long as you aren't using DHX or Reaper HPC sticks or some other RAM with crazy heatspreader designs, you shouldn't have any clearance issues with a Xigmatek.

Even a Freezer 7 Pro or similar would beat out the stock Intel HSF... I'd avoid it if possible.

Plenty of "clone" stock Intel HSFs at newegg, all for under $15.

I agree with silent-circuit.

I think the Q6600 used the Intel model RCBFH on that boxed part, if you want to go searching. Not sure why you are against using ebay, but they are out there all the time for $10 -$20. Craigslist?

Ya, i should have just put one in with my order, but i was trying to be as cheap as possible and it seemed like a good idea at the time.

I remembered i was out of thermal compound, so i drove to fry's and got some AS5 and this http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16835106106

Some say its loud, some not? looks better than stock i guess ill try it out.
