Oh help help pls...
I have a P5N-E SLI Asus motherboard and my Scythe Ninja cooler pins broke so I needed a new CPU cooler. I thought about going with simply another Ninja, but then I read all about the Prolimatech Megahalems and bought one of those.
But it doesn't fit on the BLASTED mobo. Sigh... Wish I'd known.
So I either now buy a new cooler, or a new mobo. However, I think (I've a sneaking suspicion) that my mobo is warped somewhat, so I'd like to buy another Core2Duo motherboard for my E6300 that I can overclock a little and that will take my Megahalems bracket and cooler.
Any suggestions gratefully appreciated. Thank you all

That'a a good mobo... I had it for a while and then it just stopped working... Too bad, I really liked it...
So anyways, do you need SLI ? Do you have a manufacturer preference ?
If it were me (I'm getting one myself tomorrow ), I'd get a Gigabyte EP45-UD3R. Or one along the P45 chipset.
Or you can just upgrade

Do you know what, I REALLY don't need SLI
Your Gigabyte suggestion looks a good 'un, but I'd rather pay around the £60/70 mark than the £100/110 area. I'm gonna keep hunting... Although, who knows - maybe I'll fork out for a new CPU and mobo.
And I'm bloody gonna find a compatibility list for the Megahalems before I purchase this time!
Thanks for your reply.

the cheap asus P43 motherboards work very well. The chip-set is passive and the bios has all kinds of voltage options to under-volt to your hearts content. And the performance is also inline for what it is.
Very flexable option, it should work fine with your cooler, but check for sure.
