Cooling for overclockers

[JC]

Its not just people in the US that like overclocking their hardware so why is it that it is so difficult to source coolers in the UK?
I bought a Vantec 5040 CPU cooler and The Card Cooler for the bargain (not) price of $56 US - £34 UK and then had to pay another £7.50 import tax.

I feel your pain...

All I can say is that they ain't any cheaper in Denmark. But I have yet to locate a real "power cooler" from a Danish retailer. Seems the "coolest" stuff available is in the league of a dual fanned GlobalWin P3 heatsink. It's simply impossible to track down the really huge heatsink/fan combos. They would probably cost a shitload anyway...

Regards,

Jake
