Question about which heatsink would work for me

[GSandra35]

Ok, so I have a new I5-2500K Sandy Bridge CPU. This is what I have put together.



Rosewill REDBONE Black Steel ATX Mid Tower Case

Asus P8H61-M LE/CSM (Rev. 3) Micro ATX Motherboard

Crucial Ballistix DDR3 1333 1.5v (2x 4GB)

Gigabyte GTX550 Ti Video Card

Along with the i5-2500K CPU





I'm just curious, with everything put together, what kind of Aftermarket Heatsink can I use that will fit?

I don't have tall ram.



I'm confused about how the dimensions work on a heatsink. IE which way L is compared to W.



Any suggestions?

This is an incredibly popular cpu cooler.http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16835103065
Though, if you are not overclocking the cpu and are in a room that's not hot, just use the cooler that comes with the i5 (unless it's oem, oem CPUs don't have coolers included).

The Cooler Master Hyper Series is excellent. Just put one into my dad's system. Works like a champ. Also, for a bit better temps, the Corsair H-series water cooling products are great.
