I don't know much about the Tiasol, but if your looking for ultimate cooling, I here the Global Win FOP38 is the way to go. You can also modify an Alpha PEP66 socketed boards(IMHO the best Alpha ther is). I guess the next choice after those would be a Chrome Orb. Make sure if you replace your heatsink, that you use a good thermal compound under it. I recommend some sort of silver compound. I have heard of people cooling an additional 10C by using silver. I only got about 5C cooler using silver though.

As to wether you should get a new heatsink, I don't know. Are you happy with your rather impressive overclock and the temperatures at it, or do you want more? In my opinion, better cooling can never hurt. In a lot of cases you can migrate a heatsink on to a new chip as well, so it isn't a bad investment.

As to Canada being large, I havent even seen half of my country. It takes days to drive across it(Mcuh like the US). If you head north there is maybe a quarter of the country that doesn't have roads, and then you have the arctic islands. We have a territory(Kinda like a state) in the north with a total population of 26000 people. I have been up there, man is it desolate. I have never been East though.

I have to agree about Alpha's being good heatsinks.

I have the Fac7's on my celery 366's. and that's cooling enuff for me to get them both to 550 at 2.1v

one other thing you might want to look into though, the good brothers over at www.tennmax.com are working on a "Lasagna" cooler for CPU's. I don't know when it's supposed to hit the streets, but if it's anything like their other coolers, it'll probably kick some serious ass

I would also recommend the Global Win FOP38, except if extremely loud noise would be a problem. In that case, I would get a FOP32-1, which will cool almost to the level of the FOP38, but will be much quieter.

Yeah, 2cooltek is a great store. He carrys great products, and his customer service is even better. If you are looking to mail order cooling parts for your computer, that is the place to go.
