    Wow, the heatsink is more expensive than the CPU. Any more budget friendly options? I'm looking at this one https://www.amazon.com/dp/B08WPDD6GD/ seems to be well reviewed, should handle an "office PC" with a 95W CPU, and it's only 50 bucks.

      athlon and p4 heatsinks could handle 90w+ and they didnt cost 50 - we are being screwed by the industry these days!

        This could be the easiest Cooler Master heatsink to mount:

          Much better/cheaper option is one of these: https://www.ebay.com/itm/203479603087

          That's what I'm running on my FX8320 server. Handles running at full tilt for hours no problem. Silent AF too.
