Cpu cooler and mobo???

RizlaKing · 21 Jan 2008 at 01:36

Hi all i have narrowed my choice of mobo down to either http://www.overclockers.co.uk/showproduct.php?prodid=MB-088-MS&groupid=701&catid=5&subcat=946 or http://www.overclockers.co.uk/showproduct.php?prodid=MB-249-AS&groupid=701&catid=5&subcat=946. I am planning on a Q6600 and am buying a OCZ Vindicator cooler and was hoping some on here that have those boards have any experience of that mobo\cooler combination. Any help greatly appreciated

. Also feel free to comment on the mobo's themself and other cpu coolers.

The OCZ Vindicator isn't a very good cpu cooler at all. You'd be much better off going with the likes of a Tuniq Tower or for a little more the Noctua NH12.

Thx for the reply i keep reading about problems with the tuniq and the thermalright having quite rough surfaces and needing lapping which i dont want to do if i can avoid it.

I can vouch for the noctua, very flat and shiny surface, keeps my overclocked quad nice and cool

Had a look at the noctua looks good does it have any problems being fitted to the mobo's i mentioned ?. I am not looking to massively oc the Q6600 maybe 3 or 3.2 not extreme so doesn't have to be the worlds best cooler.
