Need cooler recommendation

Post by velvet45 » Wed May 21, 2008 11:01 am

I am thinking of using the DFI P35 DK with this system under construction, but not sure what would be the best performing HSF to pair with it. I have heard that the NB is too large to accomodate a TRUE in vertical orientation, and not sure about horizontal or if I would even want to try that. I have heard that many use the Tuniq tower, but was wanting to get some other opinions from this forum.
I prefer high performance, value- but cost need not rule out anything, and want it to fit this board without extensive mods/problems.
I have also wondered about the top-down coolers as a possibility, but have thought they do make it hard to access board components.
Thanks for your help!

Hello,

You might want to consider the Xigmatek HDT-S1283 (or it's KingWin branded twin):

Thanks Neil and Lawrence,
I have heard that will not fit this motherboard, but if you guys have first hand experience or know that it does for a fact, I will look into getting this- Thanks a million!
