Well basically i just need a new CPU cooler but i really, really don't want to have to go through the pain of taking my motherboard out and destroying my amazing cable management :p does anyone know of a high performance LGA 775 cooler that uses the push pins :D

Thanks (:
 
Don't let your laziness keep you from a better cooler. The weight of any good quality heatsink needs a firm mounting system to mount it. Also you should just be able to unhook everything and leave it floating in place while the board is out.

I agree with what he said,You could get the AC7 pro which has push pins and is better than intels stock fan,But imo its not that great.

Whats is your max budget....and does it have to be push pin? would you consider one with mounting brackets?
 
Stay away from Push pins. If the heat sink comes with push pins look for a bolt through kit. You get better contact.
 
I would recommend the Cooler Master V8. It does require you to remove the motherboard but it is a top notch heatsink.

Get rid of Vista and you will gain some performance.
