Hey there

I'm looking for a sub 120mm cpu heatsink for an LGA1150 socket. I'm running an Intel Pentium Anniversary Edition and I'd like to be able to do some decent overclocking on it without starting a fire

What's your budget? Honestly the stock cooler is good for up to 4GHz, if not higher.

that depends on how crazy you are. totally not good 24/7 but I did a stable 1 hour prime run at 4.7 ghz with no throttling

95C still isn't a good place to be.

I'd look into the Silverstone AR06

That looks pretty good. It's cheap too, thanks

There's some that are even cheaper, they won't perform as good but it will be a small difference on the G3258 since that chip barely puts out heat.
