I got this CPU for Xmas, and I am planning on overclocking it. I am just looking for suggestions on good coolers for $100 or less.

If you need the name of the mobo, just ask.


Thanks

Seems okay. But make sure you have space in your case as it's a very large fan. Gl man.

Thanks for the help, I have the nvidia gtx 275 in my case and still have maybe 5 inches to spare.

Do you think that will be enough room?

You'll most likely have room. I'm trying to figure out how tall it is but I seem to end up with 2cm, which seems no where close. That's a little less than an inch.

On newegg, one of the reviews says:

"It has a backplate that goes behind the motherboard to support the weight. Removal of the motherboard to install is required."

So if that bothers you, you may want to pick a different one.

its a continual ''work in progress''....
Also, your case as a side panel fan. You should be careful of anything too tall.

Here's Skunksmash's cooler from newegg in USD ;).
