I'm looking foward to buy the <A HREF="http://http://www.swiftnets.com/MCX370.html" TARGET=_blank>Swiftech's
MCX370</A>Heatsink By far this is the best I've seen out there.. but there is a problem. it connects with 4 pins and I only have 3pins connector.. Is there adapters to it.. I don't feel like connecting it to the Power supply thing as they say you have to do.. and do you think it will fit my ASUS A7A266 cause in one place I read it works with clip which is fine other that you screw it and that is NOT OK !! I don't feel like screwing things in my motherboard

PD: If you know of a better or equal HS for a lower price let me know cause it is expensive..

Go here and that have the best reviews on heatsinks. Swifttech is great.But personally i would go alpha.Also you can buy from this site, ithink the alpha was one of the tops for the least amount of money. Hey and when you put it on, make sure the core is touching the heatsink. Some heatsinks are very hard to put on , i would take the motherbo. out and then put the heatsink on. I blown amany processers , putting on heatsinks so be careful.

The fan itself is interchangeable...where ever you order it form should be able to set you up with correct number of pin fan (maybe at slight extra charge)....
